In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.

 

As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.

 

Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).

 

The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.

 

On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.

 

In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.

Jemand erzählte mir, dass sein Fotoclub, zusammen mit Calumet, einen Düsseldorf Fotowettbewerb startet - ein Gutschein für 150 Euro winkt - ein günstiger Preis um an ein gutes Foto zu kommen ...

 

mir zu günstig, da nehme ich nicht teil ...

 

das Thema habe ich mir heute Morgen dann selbst gestellt - hier das Ergebnis, der Hitzeperiode und dem Klimawandel geschuldet ...

 

Ihr seht den 218 m hohen, markanten, Rheinturm

dazu die Energie-Pyramide, die Spuren des nahen Flughafens und die Spuren der DEG, des Düsseldorfer Eishockeyvereins, als Melange ...

 

Die Herleitungen sind für euch sicher leicht nachvollziehbar ...

zur Pyramide, die den Puls dieses charmanten Welt- und Kunstdorfes angibt, hier mehr ...

 

Das Luftbild der Energie-Pyramide zeigt das Wechselspiel der geometrischen Formen: Über vier konzentrischen Edelstah-Ringen sind vier Dreiecke angebracht, deren Winkel denen der Pyramiden von Gizeh entsprechen.

 

Auf den vier Ring-Skalen ist abzulesen, wieviel Strom, Fernwärme, Erdgas und Trinkwasser die Stadtwerke Düsseldorf zur Zeit, in der Stunde, abgeben.

 

Die Drehung der Dreiecke zeigt weiter, wie die Zeit verrinnt. Zu jeder vollen Stunde stehen die Dreiecke im Winkel von 90° zueinander und bilden so die "Pyramide".

 

Sinnfällige Sprüche umgeben diese Zahlen:

 

"Das All ist voller Energie. Energie verändert das Universum." "Der Reichtum der Erde ist nicht bloß Kapital. Er ist ihr Wesen."

Mac could not understand why this other cat was on the January page or 2024 on this calendar! He thinks he would be a much better model! LOL!

 

Happy Caturday! First Caturday of 2024!

It was a tussle to get a photo of "Aquarium". This is the best shot and I should have used a flash.For this playful installation, artists Benedetto Bufalino and Benoit Deseille transform the famous telephone box by turning it into an aquarium full of exotic fish. By doing so, the French duo invite us to dream of travel and escape from our everyday lives.

This is my third and final entry into the Iron Forge second round, using wrenches and hammers as the seed part. I used them in the chairs, the steps, as the door handle, and as part of the power pole. This was a fun build, and I'm pretty proud of it. I hope you enjoy!

 

Cheers!

I saw this pair of glasses on a log in the white cart river in Linn Park, Glasgow, and I thought "I'm sure there must be something witty to say about it" ... all suggestions welcomed!
