In September a new sculpture was unveiled at the Chopin-Platz, created by Russian artist Nikolai Karlychanow. The sculpture shows the pianist’s hands and has been made out of a block of marble.
The project was financed be donations, of which €7,000 came from the Taunus Sparkasse and a further €9,000 from private individuals.
Unveiling the sculpture (from left to right): Oliver Klink (Chairman of the Taunus Sparkasse), Rainer A. Herrmann, Marietta Lienhard, Christoph Kappus, Bernd Lienhard, Klaus Mehler, Mayor Hans-Georg Brum und Renate Kappus.
The electricity sub-station at the Chopin-Platz has also been re-painted by artist “Canister” to match the musical theme.
