Show of strength in front of the town hall: Tobel erects a four-ton sculpture on Lake Tegernsee

Four tons of art have moved into Tegernsee in front of the town hall: the sculpture by the sculptor Tobel from Valley heralds the 71st Tegernsee art exhibition and the 48th Tegernsee week.

Tegernsee

- Tobels works are really no lightweights.

The spiral weighs four tons, which so far stood in the sculpture clearing of the internationally successful sculptor at home in the Mangfall valley.

This is even a size too big for Tobel's own wheel loader, he first had to borrow a larger one to get the colossus out of the forest.

Tobel took it out and cleaned it on Tuesday afternoon before the Mayr carpentry from Finsterwald picked it up with heavy equipment and delivered it to the Tegernsee town hall on Wednesday morning, where Tobel set it up with the aid of a crane truck.

There the sculpture heralds the Tegernsee art exhibition from September 18, 2021, which this year also accompanies the Tegernsee Week.

The festival will take place from September 24 to October 3, 2021 in a light version, in view of Corona under the motto “The city becomes a stage”. Organizer Birgit Halmbacher-Höplinger therefore asked the creators of the art exhibition in the Schalthaus whether they would also like to relocate some of the outside space - as a kind of ring closure. So the idea arose to set up three sculptures at the town hall and in the spa garden. Tobels Spirale is the vanguard: because the sculptor is hosting an international symposium from next week and would then run out of time, he preferred delivery.

"Eternity" is the name of his work, in German Ewigkeit.

The sculpture, says Tobel, shows only a tiny section of a huge spiral that turns into infinitely small on one side and infinitely large on the other.

The stone is a rare and therefore expensive Kelheim limestone.

Tobel appreciates the material very much: "It is very dense, but also has larger and smaller pores and even crystalline efflorescence," explains the sculptor, "very moving and lively."

Complex transport and installation with a crane truck

The lineup went smoothly.

“The city and the building yard had prepared everything superbly,” praised Tobel.

Nevertheless, it remains a laborious effort.

"The whole journey involves unbelievable material and costs." Perhaps the city would decide to keep his sculpture, says Tobel with a smile: "The city could save itself the return transport now that it is already there."

Halmbacher-Höplinger watched the laborious effort.

“I wouldn't have missed that.” She thinks the sculpture on the town hall forecourt is really beautiful.

“It's an eye-catcher.” Halmbacher reveals that the program for the Tegernsee Week is now in place.

“It's already in print.” It will be presented next week.
