Abraham's ring


This metal-ring symbolizes the three abrahamic religions. It was embedded in the ground at an open market place here in Bad Oldesloe called 'Hude' (September 2011).
It should remind us, to live in peace together and tolerate each other, whatever we believe.
The blue part inside the ring is looking like an angel, therefore it is called angel of cultures.
The ring was 'planted' at several places in Germany and in eastern europe cities up to Istanbul.

The metal pieces in the shape of the Angel of Culture  remains when you produce the ring out of a steel plate by help of a cutting torch. The artists want to pile up all these metal angels to a continuously growing pillar, the so called  Abraham’s Pillar, which they intend to erect at Jerusalem one day.

More about the project you can read here in a brochure.
