Dinkelstein II

The Dinkel Stones are a group of sculptures along the Dinkel stream.

As part of the first cross-border State Garden 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 Garden Show 2003. Approximately 80 artists responded to this invitation, and a jury selected individual and overall projects from these submitted designs, which were realized in the following months.

The concept Dinkel Stones 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 from Form-Los to participate in the Dinkel Stones project. The process of creating 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 could observe the work on the sculptures in Gronau-Epe and on the grounds of the Baumberger Sandstone Museum in Havixbeck. After the conclusion of the State Garden Show Gronau-Losser 2003, the sculpture path was further expanded by two sculptures by Dutch sculptors in the area of the municipality of Losser.
