Artist: Roland Glatz-Wieczorek (Gummersbach) - Sculptor

Object: the shell

This sculpture deals with the theme of the hidden, the inner core and the process of change.
What is inside? What does the shell of this being conceal?
The shell breaks open and something new emerges from it.
What emerges when we shed our old shell?
When we reinvent ourselves and allow something new to grow?

Location: Kierspe-Rönsahl Meienbornstraße / playground (coordinates: 51.110177 / 7.507003)

Additional information: Historic Rönsahl distillery (Rönsahl brewery, local history museum, event location) nearby; hiking trails - including the "Bergischer Panoramasteig" - nearby.

As part of the "Scheuerpfähle fürs Volmetal " project, 20 artistically designed "Scheuerpfähle" will be erected in the four municipalities that have joined together to form the Oben an der Volme region. They are intended to draw attention to special features in the Volme Valley, serve as landmarks or invite reflection. The X 20 hiking trail, which connects Schalksmühle, Halver, Kierspe and Meinerzhagen over a length of 20 kilometers, is the bracket.

The initiator and sponsor of the project is the VAKT art association from Halver. The NRW Ministry for Regional Identity, Communities and Local Government, Building and Gender Equality has sponsored the project. Minister Ina Scharrenbach personally delivered the funding notification to Halver on the Saturday before Christmas 2019.

Scouring poles have their origins in agriculture. Farmers used to put them in the Weide so that cattle could rub against them. In the Volmetal, the posts are also intended to figuratively point out points of friction. They are intended to draw attention to special places, stimulate discussion or help to rediscover home.
