The Heinrich Kirchner Sculpture Park – Messenger of Peace

Many of Kirchner’s sculptures are an expression of his ethical and humanitarian attitude. The Messenger of Peace, created in 1980/81, is appealing to humans through the warning inscription on the body, urging them to strive for a peaceful coexistence between all living beings. This message is underscored by the raised arms, whose gesture is suggestive of a blessing. Kirchner described this messenger as an angel who speaks to mankind as a divine messenger.
