Guided Story
As you stand before this granite artwork, notice the distinctive groove that zigzags around its four sides. Created in 1980 by Michael Siebel, this piece marks a prominent example of modern art in Frankfurt. Look around, and you’ll find the Snow White Monument just 22 meters to the north, and the Schiller Monument about 84 meters to the south. While the Great Diagonal might seem stark and simple at first glance, its dynamic lines bring a subtle vibrancy to the structure. Here, you get the chance to experience a unique blend of structure and space in the heart of the city.
