Metalhenge, Scenic viewpoint and pedestrian zone in Bremen, Germany
Metal pillars form a circular structure on top of a former landfill site, providing views across the Bremen metropolitan region and surrounding countryside.
The installation opened on July 16, 2021, transforming a municipal waste site into a modern interpretation of ancient astronomical observation points.
The metal circle functions as an astronomical instrument, marking specific points of sunrise and sunset during solstices and equinoxes throughout the year.
Visitors can access Metalhenge every day without admission fees, with designated paths making the site accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
The structure combines industrial materials with astronomical alignments, creating a modern observation point at an elevation of 50 meters above sea level.
