Discover more about Global Stone Project
Nestled in the heart of Berlin's Tiergarten, near the Brandenburg Gate, the Global Stone Project is a unique outdoor sculpture park that embodies the spirit of unity and peace. Conceived by artist Wolfgang Kraker von Schwarzenfeld, the project features a collection of impressive stone monoliths sourced from five continents. Each stone represents a step on the road to peace: Europe (Awakening), Africa (Hope), Asia (Forgiveness), America (Love), and Australia (Peace).
The stones are arranged in a circle, with their surfaces precisely aligned so that, on June 21st (the summer solstice), the sunlight connects all ten stones – the five in Berlin and their counterparts remaining in their countries of origin. This alignment symbolizes the interconnectedness of humanity and the project's message of global awareness. The artist's intention is not to instruct, but to invite viewers to contemplate the work as an artistic signal, encouraging reflection on the five steps to peace.
The Global Stone Project offers a serene escape from the bustling city. Visitors can wander through the park, contemplating the relationship between humanity and the environment, and experiencing the unique atmosphere created by the carefully curated sculptures and lush greenery. The project is open year-round, providing opportunities to witness the sculptures in different seasons, each visit unveiling new perspectives as the changing light and foliage create a dynamic backdrop.
