The Denkmal Bürgerstein Point of View, inaugurated in 2013, is more than just a monument; it's an invitation to engage with Baden-Baden on a deeper level. Located on the Hungerberg, within the grounds of the former Gartenschau (garden exhibition), the Bürgerstein, or 'Citizen Stone', encourages observers to reflect on their perspectives and responsibilities within the community.
The artwork itself is a stone sculpture set upon a pedestal adorned with reliefs crafted by students from local schools. This collaborative aspect underscores the monument's message of shared civic duty and encourages a sense of ownership among the city's younger generation.
The 'Point of View' title reflects the artist's intention to prompt viewers to examine their own viewpoints and to appreciate the multifaceted nature of urban life. It serves as a reminder that each citizen has the power to contribute to the city's well-being and to shape its future. The Fürstenberg-Denkmal is nearby, offering a beautiful view of the Neues Schloss.
