Skulptur "Das Portal"

The name "Portal" comes from the fact that a narrow recess in the middle of the sculpture forms a kind of passageway. It could be understood as a reference to an escort on the way from one world to another. The sculpture stands in front of the Stuwe funeral home.

Similar to the fountain sculpture in front of the main portal of the neighboring collegiate church, Hirndorf's "Portal" features the closed shape of the fish - which can be interpreted as a Christian symbol, but also as a boat or flame.
