Brücke über Sand

The Bridge over Sand combines a functional crossing path with artistic elements made of travertine arches and dark stone carvings of mythical creatures.

Walter Sachs created this installation before 2014, adding to the collection of bridges that span across Weimar, including fourteen structures over the Ilm River.

The sculpture features intricate stone carvings depicting a seated giant figure on one end and a goat-like face on the other end of the dark stone block.

The bridge serves as a connection point for pedestrians and cyclists, integrating transportation infrastructure with public art in the northern district of Weimar.

The structure incorporates different types of stone materials to form symbolic arches, positioned opposite the Ernst Thälmann Memorial in Buchenwaldplatz.
