Guided Story

Feel the breeze coming off the river? Imagine a voice carried on the wind. Right here stands 'The Caller' by Gerhard Marcks. Look at its posture, hands cupped like a megaphone. This sculpture speaks to anyone willing to listen. Did you know Marcks was inspired by the ancient Greek orators when he created this piece? It symbolizes a longing for communication in an often noisy world. Turn around and look towards the river. The Weser flows gently by, as if carrying the Caller's message with it.
