Dinkelstein VII

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

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. Approximately 80 artists followed this invitation, and a jury selected individual and overall projects from these submissions that 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 a matter of course for the artists of Form-Los to participate in the Dinkel Stones project. The development process of the sculptures was documented and published online in a timely manner.

A total of 13 sculptures made of Ibbenbüren sandstone were installed along the Dinkel over a distance of 15 kilometers. Visitors in Gronau-Epe and on the grounds of the Baumberger Sandstone Museum in Havixbeck were able to observe the work on the sculptures. After the conclusion of the state garden exhibition Gronau-Losser 2003, the sculpture path was further extended by two sculptures by Dutch sculptors in the area of the municipality of Losser.
