Odins Raben und die Midgardschlange, Mythological sculpture near Stadtschloss, Weimar, Germany
The sculpture features two black polished diabase ravens standing 1.05 meters tall with red sandstone tiles forming a snake pattern between them.
Created in 1992 by German sculptor Anne-Katrin Altwein, the artwork stands in front of Weimar Stadtschloss and ACC Café on Burgplatz.
The ravens Huginn and Munin represent thought and memory in Norse mythology, while the Midgard serpent symbolizes the boundary of the world.
The red sandstone tiles between the ravens contain engravings of board games from different world cultures, allowing visitors to play using colored beans.
The sculpture combines elements from Norse mythology with interactive game tables, integrating ancient symbolism with contemporary public engagement.
