Blütenball, Metal sculpture in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.
Blütenball is a metal sculpture in Pankow standing 300 centimeters tall, made from sheet steel, vitreous enamel, and iron. The work features a flower-like form that combines organic outlines with flat metal panels.
Joachim Liebscher created this work in 1976 as part of artistic development in East Berlin. The sculpture emerged during a period when artists were shaping public spaces through large-scale metal works.
The name refers to the flower-like form, blending organic and geometric elements together. Visitors can experience this mix of nature and abstraction directly in the public green space.
The sculpture sits outdoors next to the Finanzamt building and is easy to spot from the street. You can walk around the work from all sides and view it from different angles.
Liebscher drew on his background as a metal worker to combine industrial materials with artistic expression. This skill allowed him to unite technical precision and aesthetic vision in a single work.
