Guided Story
Feel the breeze on your face? Imagine it raging over sixty years ago, filling the air with fear. This sculpture is more than just a monument. It's a silent witness to a night when the Elbe overflowed and forever changed many lives. Turn around and you might catch a glimpse of the Honey Factory in the distance. It too witnessed the floods, like so many buildings here. The figures seem to call out, a constant reminder that community and solidarity can move mountains. Take a moment to remember the victims and honor the bravery of the rescuers. In the darkness of that night, the lights of hope shone even brighter.
