Günter Kämpfe | o. T.

The façade piece by Günter Kämpfe (b. 1914 in Braunschweig – d. 1992) was produced in conjunction with the »Street Art Programme« and now appears somewhat like a reminiscence whose material radiates the values of past decades. Elements of commercial aesthetics encounter pure forms here; the ostensibly interchangeable components encourage one to puzzle about intellectually
within the reduced concrete aesthetics of its location. The geometry of the surrounding site seems to force the piece into a corner where it makes up an expressive contrast to the rear of the hotel building, although both encounter each other in the design practice of previous decades. » Location: Theodor-Lessing-Platz (on the rear of the Maritim Hotel)
