Claus Bury, Bitterfeld Arc, 2005

Bitterfeld Arc ...
... is completed in spring 2006.
With a formal celebration Bitterfeld Arc becomes turned over to it's destination.
The art piece, with an altitude of 28 meters, 81 meters in length and 14 meters breadthwise, designed by the Frankfurt sculptor Claus Bury, is to be seen widely as a new land mark on the Bitterfeld hill.
The arcitectural sculpture, accessible on 540 meters gangway, is the new trademark in the former chemistry and brown coal area of Bitterfeld-Wolfen. It symbolizes the successful transformation to a new center of technological and scientific research as well as a sustainable landscape of nature, lakes and recreation.

This impressive steel construction, reminding to a huge excavator shovel of the brown coal area, is to be seen on top of the headed up and vegetated "Bitterfelder Berg".
