Public Art in Germany

Berlin

Public Art in Berlin - Berlin, like many cities in Europe during World War II, was devastated by airstrikes and bombing. However, in rebuilding the city, a new generation of public art began to (and in some ways still does) reflect the city's tragic past. It is hard to walk through the parks and streets without being reminded of the horrors of war. There are, however, several statues and sculptures which survived the onslaught of World War II, creating a strange and interesting mixture of art.

Featured public art include the Bismarck Memorial, Quadriga of Victory, Neptunbrunnen, St Gertrude statue, Jewish Memorial sculpture, Jewish Holocaust Memorial, Jewish Memorial Tablet, Golden Else, St George Fighting the Dragon Statue and the Soviet War Memorial.
