Dinkelstein V

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

As part of the first cross-border state garden exhibition 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 exhibition 2003. About 80 artists followed this invitation, and a jury selected individual and overall projects from these submitted designs, which were realized in the following months.

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

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 Gronau-Losser State Garden Exhibition 2003, the sculpture path was further extended by two sculptures from Dutch sculptors in the area of the municipality of Losser.
