Dinkelstein XIV

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

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. About 80 artists followed this invitation, and a jury selected individual and overall projects from these submitted designs that were realized in the following months.

The concept Dinkel Stones by Anke Engels from Gronau was chosen and awarded the 2nd prize; it 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 creation 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 at the Baumberger Sandstone Museum in Havixbeck could observe the work on the sculptures. After the completion of the State Garden Show Gronau-Losser 2003, the sculpture path was further extended by two sculptures from Dutch sculptors in the area of the municipality of Losser.
