As I die
Stare as eyes uphold me
And wait to see right through
And curse me - The love has crippled you
Shadows haunt the night
Burning my disguise
Reaping through the truth
Life becomes untrue
Sin the last diversion
My fate will be untouched
Dismissed now, the anger of a fool
Shadows haunt the night
Forgive me as I die
Taking a chance
And take what you gain
My soul is has no price
Total release is out of harms way
Until I can decide
You punish me, can't you see, I'm not real
Tears are flowing free, passing by, as I die
komm wir malen uns das leben, komm wir malen uns die welt.
mit allen ihren farben, höhen und tiefen und alles was uns gefällt
Lyon, France

ie historische Grotte wurde nach Plänen von Niki de Saint Phalle umgestaltet. Der Spiegelraum mit dem Thema Tag und Leben zeigt mit über 40 Relieffiguren Beispiele aus fast allen Schaffensperioden der Künstlerin. Der blaue Raum ist der Nacht und dem Kosmos gewidmet. Bunte Frauenfiguren tanzen in den nachtblauen Himmel und greifen nach den Sternen. Die Fenster und Türen der Grotte sind mit speziell von Niki de Saint Phalle entworfenen Gittern versehen, die ebenfalls mit Glas und Spiegeln beklebt wurden. Der achteckige Mittelraum und die beiden sich rechts und links anschließenden Räume der Grotte sind durch Mosaike aus buntem Glas und Spiegeln, mit Kieseln und zahlreichen bemalten, plastischen Figuren mit dem Thema "Das Leben des Menschen" geschmückt.

Mit Hannover verband Niki de Saint Phalle, geboren am 29.10.1930 in Paris, verstorben am 21. Mai 2002 in San Diego, eine über 30-jährige Freundschaft. Ihre Zuneigung zur Stadt an der Leine drückte die Weltkünstlerin eindrucksvoll zuletzt im Herbst 2000 in einem Satz aus: "I have a very special feeling for Hanover", so die damals 70-Jährige. Der künstlerische Durchbruch gelang Niki de Saint Phalle in den fünfziger Jahren mit der Teilnahme an Ausstellungen der internationalen Gruppe "Nouveaux Réalistes". Viel beachtet wurden in den folgenden Jahrzehnten neben ihren Filmen "Daddy" und "Camélia et le Dragon" sowie den Ausstellungen in allen wichtigen Museen der Welt zahlreiche außergewöhnliche Kunstprojekte. Die Aufstellung dreier bunter, voluminöser "Nanas" aus Polyester am hannoverschen Leineufer 1974 hatte Proteststürme bei einigen HannoveranerInnen ausgelöst, brachte aber auch eine - die erste - lebhafte und tiefgreifende Diskussion über Kunst im öffentlichen Straßenraum. Mittlerweile werden die Nanas, die rasch zu Wahrzeichen der EXPO-Stadt avancierten, geliebt Seit 1998 arbeitete Niki de Saint Phalle für Hannover an der Neugestaltung der Grotte. Die Ehrenbürgerin der Stadt Hannover verstarb ein Jahr vor der Fertigstellung der beeindruckenden Grotte im Großen Garten. Die von ihr gefertigten detaillierten Pläne und zahlreiche Informationen ihrer Mitarbeiter ermöglichten die Fertigstellung (in) der (neu gestalteten) Grotte. Die Grotte in Herrenhausen ist somit das letzte große Kunstprojekt, das Niki de Saint Phalle vor ihrem Tod abschloss.

The historic grotto was redesigned according to plans by Niki de Saint Phalle. The mirror room, themed around day and life, features over 40 relief figures representing examples from almost all of the artist's creative periods. The blue room is dedicated to night and the cosmos. Colourful female figures dance in the night-blue sky and reach for the stars. The windows and doors of the grotto are fitted with grilles specially designed by Niki de Saint Phalle, which have also been covered with glass and mirrors. The octagonal central room and the two adjoining rooms on the right and left of the grotto are decorated with mosaics of colourful glass and mirrors, pebbles and numerous painted plastic figures on the theme of ‘The Life of Man’.

Niki de Saint Phalle, born on 29 October 1930 in Paris and died on 21 May 2002 in San Diego, had a friendship with Hanover that lasted over 30 years. The world-famous artist last expressed her affection for the city on the Leine River in an impressive statement in autumn 2000: ‘I have a very special feeling for Hanover,’ said the then 70-year-old. Niki de Saint Phalle made her artistic breakthrough in the 1950s by participating in exhibitions organised by the international group ‘Nouveaux Réalistes’. In addition to her films “Daddy” and ‘Camélia et le Dragon’ and exhibitions in all the world's major museums, numerous extraordinary art projects attracted considerable attention in the following decades. The installation of three colourful, voluminous ‘Nanas’ made of polyester on the banks of the Leine in Hanover in 1974 triggered a storm of protest among some Hanoverians, but also sparked the first lively and profound discussion about art in public spaces. The Nanas, which quickly became landmarks of the EXPO city, are now beloved. Since 1998, Niki de Saint Phalle worked for Hanover on the redesign of the grotto. The honorary citizen of the city of Hanover died a year before the impressive grotto in the Great Garden was completed. The detailed plans she drew up and the wealth of information provided by her colleagues made it possible to complete the (newly designed) grotto. The grotto in Herrenhausen is thus the last major art project that Niki de Saint Phalle completed before her death.

German postcard by Uvachrom, series 405, no. 5435. Photo: Ufa. Die Nibelungen I (Fritz Lang, 1924). Caption: Brünhilde's entry.
Die Nibelungen (Fritz Lang, 1924) is one of the masterpieces of the Weimar cinema. Die Nibelungen is a duology of silent fantasy films: Die Nibelungen: Siegfried and Die Nibelungen: Kriemhilds Rache/Kriemhild's Revenge.
How Siegfried Slayed the Dragon
Die Nibelungen was produced by the Ufa and Decla studios, and it starred Austrian actor Paul Richter as the (nearly) invulnerable hero Siegfried. The screenplays were written by Fritz Lang and his wife at the time, Thea von Harbou. They were based upon the epic Nordic poem Nibelungenlied, written around AD 1200 and told through seven cantos. It is the tale of the legendary German hero Siegfried (Paul Richter), son of King Siegmund. He masters the art of forging a sword at the shop of Mime (George John). On his journey home, he hears tales from the locals about Princess Kriemhild (Margarete Schön), the beautiful sister of King Gunter of Burgundy (Theodor Loos). Siegfried decides to go to Worms, the capital of Burgundy, to win Kriemhild. On his journey to Worms, he is attacked by a dragon. Siegfried slays the dragon and bathes in his blood. This bath makes him invulnerable - except for one spot on his shoulder blade which is missed after being covered by a falling lime leaf.
How Volker, the Bard, sang of Siegfried in front of Kriemhild, and How Siegfried Came in Worms
Siegfried trespasses on the land of the Nibelungen and is attacked by Alberich, King of the Dwarves (again George John). He fights and defeats Alberich who was wearing his wonder cloak of invisibility and transformation. Alberich asks Siegfried to spare his life and in return, he gives the Treasure of the Nibelungen and the Balmung sword. While Siegfried is mesmerised by the treasure, Alberich tries to defeat him but dies in the attempt. Dying, Alberich curses all inheritors of the treasure and he and his dwarves turn to stone. Siegfried makes twelve kings as his vassals and arrives in Worms as a hero.
How Siegfried Won Brunhild for Gunther
News reaches the court that Brunhild, a queen of outstanding strength and beauty may be won only by a man capable of matching her athletic prowess. Gunther decides to woo Brunhild (Hanna Ralph) with the aid of Siegfried, to whom he promises the hand of Kriemhild if successful. The men travel to Iceland, to the kingdom of Brunhild, where Siegfried feigns vassalage to Gunther so that he can avoid Brunhild's challenge. He uses instead the cloak's power of invisibility to help Gunther beat the powerful Queen in a three-fold Amazonian battle of strength: throwing stones, throwing a spear and jumping.
How Brunhild Enters Worms and How the King Celebrate Their Wedding
The men return to Burgundy where Gunther marries Brunhild and Siegfried weds Kriemhild. Brunhild is not, however, completely defeated. She suspects deceit and says to Gunther that she is his captive but not his bride. Hagen von Tronje (Hans Adalbert Schlettow) convinces Siegfried to help. Siegfried transforms himself with the cloak into Gunther and battles Brunhild and removes her arm ring during battle after which she submits to his will. Siegfried leaves the real Gunther to consummate the marriage. Siegfried accidentally brings Brunhild's armlet with him.
How After Half a Year, Siegfried's Gift to His Bride, The Nibelungen Treasure, Arrives in Worms and How the Two Queens Quarrel With Each Other
When Kriemhild finds Brunhild's armlet, Siegfried tells her how her brother won the queen. When the Nibelungen treasure that Siegfried acquired from Alberich arrives at the court of Burgundy as Kriemhild's morning gift, the jealous Brunhild becomes more suspicious about Siegfried's feigned vassalage to Gunther. Brunhild dons the Queen Mother's jewellery and proceeds to the cathedral to enter as the first person, as is her right as Queen of Burgundy. Kriemhild and Brunhild quarrel. Brunhild ridicules Kriemhild for marrying a vassal, and Kriemhild reveals Siegfried’s and Gunther’s deception.
How Gunther Betrayed Siegfried
Brunhild demands Siegfried be killed. She lies to Gunther and tells him that Siegfried stole her maidenhood when he battled her on her wedding night. King Gunther and his uncle and loyal warrior, Hagen von Tronje (Hans Adalbert Schlettow), conspire to murder Siegfried during a hunt in the Odenwald Forest. Hagen deceives Kriemhild into telling him the vulnerable part of Siegfried's body where the leaf has fallen. She sews a cross on the spot in Siegfried's tunic. After the hunt, Hagen challenges Siegfried to a race to a nearby spring. When Siegfried is on his knees drinking, Hagen pierces him from behind with a spear.
How Kriemhild Swears Revenge to Hagen Tronje
In an evil twist of bitter revenge, Brunhild confesses that she lied about Siegfried stealing her maidenhood to avenge Gunther's deceit of her. Gunther killed his only loyal friend. Kriemhild demands her family avenge her husband's death at the hands of Siegfried, but her family is complicit in the murder, and so they protect Hagen. Kriemhild swears revenge against Hagen while a guilt-ridden Brunhild commits suicide at the foot of Siegfried's corpse laid in state in the cathedral. Kriemhild swears revenge to Hagen.
Kriemhild's Revenge
In the second film, Kriemhild's Rache/Kriemhild's Revenge, is shown how Kriemhild gets her revenge. After Siegfried's dead, Kriemhild marries Etzel, the King of the Huns. She gives birth to a child and invites her brothers to a party. She tries to persuade Etzel and the other Huns, that they kill Hagen, the murderer of Siegfried, but he is protected by her brothers. A fierce battle begins to force her brothers to give Hagen to her.
Probably no literary work has given more to Germanic arts than the Nibelungenlied. Many variations and adaptations appeared through the centuries. The most significant modern adaptation is Richard Wagner’s famous opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (1853–1874). The 1924 film Die Nibelungen is still astounding to look at. Fritz Lang gives the film a real sense of wonder by way of fantasy elements such as dwarfs, dragons and magic powers. Amazingly, such a masterpiece of cinema could have been made in the early 1920s. The standout is the dragon-slaying scene with its wonderful special effects.

"The Cross had asked the questions; the Resurrection had answered them...The Cross had asked: "Why does God permit evil and sin to nail Justice to a tree?" The Resurrection answered: "That sin, having done its worst, might exhaust itself and this be overcome by Love that is stronger than either sin or death."
