Nuremberg: Art is the focus of the 1000 year celebration of Großgründlachs

In addition to the exhibition, there is a photo competition and a children's art campaign, in which visitors can creatively deal with the history of Großgründlach.

The art project under the patronage of Mayor Prof. Dr.

Julia Lehner initiates the anniversary celebrations planned until September 30th.

Due to the pandemic, the official ceremony is still a long time coming - it will not take place until 2022.

Nuremberg: artist Dieter Erhard shows sculptures

The exhibition by Erlangen artist Dieter Erhard goes back to an initiative of committed citizens of Kleingründlach and shows five large-format sculptures on the Kleingründlach alluvial pond. The upcycling works of art made of stainless steel and fluorescent Plexiglas live from their luminosity, an effect that occurs when the light breaks on the milled edges of the plastic. A special attraction is “Marilyn the Mermaid”, an object that splashes water. Visitors can control this from the bank. The exhibition takes place from June 1st to September 30th at the Kleingründlacher Schwemmweiher between Klein- and Großgründlach at Kleingründlacher Straße 1a.

In keeping with the anniversary and the exhibition, the Schloss Almoshof culture shop is organizing an accompanying program that invites you to become artistically active.

In a children's art campaign for daycare groups and children from the age of five, each child can create a work on the subject of “1000 Years of Großgründlach” and hand it in at the Almoshof Palace culture shop, the Bürgeramt Nord or the Friedrich Staedtler School by 30 September.

The techniques are freely selectable.

Prizes will be raffled among all the works submitted, including a travel voucher worth 250 euros, five Fischertechnik kits, surprise packages and much more.
