Die Fremden, Contemporary sculpture at Musik- und Kongresshalle, Lübeck, Germany
Die Fremden consists of multiple angular human figures positioned on the rooftop of the Musik- und Kongresshalle, visible from multiple angles in the city center.
The sculpture was installed during the early 1990s as part of an architectural competition, with substantial funding support from the Possehl Foundation.
The figures represent individuals who must leave their home countries to start new lives elsewhere, addressing themes of migration and displacement.
The sculpture can be viewed from the exterior of the Musik- und Kongresshalle, which hosts over 350 events annually and accommodates up to 2,000 visitors.
During the renovation period starting in 2015, the figures remained in place while the concert hall underwent substantial structural repairs due to collapse risk.
