Dinkelstein I

The Dinkelstones are a sculpture group along the Dinkel creek.

As part of the first cross-border state horticultural show in 2003 in Gronau (Westphalia) (D) and Losser (NL), artists from the Netherlands and Germany were invited to submit designs for artworks for the state horticultural show 2003. Approximately 80 artists responded to this invitation, and a jury selected individual and overall projects from the submitted designs, which were realized in the following months.

The concept Dinkelstones by Anke Engels from Gronau was chosen and awarded the 2nd prize, which was very similar to that of the artist group Form-Los from Havixbeck. Therefore, it was natural for the artists of Form-Los to participate in the Dinkelstones project. The creation process of the sculptures was documented and published online in a timely manner.

Thirteen sculptures made of Ibbenbüren sandstone were installed along the Dinkel over a distance of 15 kilometers. Visitors in Gronau-Epe and at the site of the Baumberger Sandstone Museum in Havixbeck could observe the work on the sculptures. After the conclusion of the state horticultural show Gronau-Losser 2003, the sculpture path was further expanded by two sculptures from Dutch sculptors in the area of the municipality of Losser.
