Butt im Griff
Where literature meets sculpture in one piece
Did you know?
The creator, Günter Grass, was a Nobel Prize laureate.
Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze around you? It's like the city is whispering its stories. Right here, you're standing before a piece that's more than just a sculpture. Günter Grass, who created this, was not only a sculptor but also a Nobel Prize-winning writer. Just to your left, you can see the Paulinerkirche, a short distance away. Did you know that in his novel 'The Flounder', Grass tells tales of fishermen and their mystical flounder? This flounder symbolizes the endless cycle of life and art. It's like the sculpture is a chapter from a book you can touch. Let your eyes trace the details and imagine how Grass's words have shaped these forms.
