9. November

"9 November" is the name of the sculpture in front of the Lörrach District Office. Bernd Goering commemorates three dates: 9 November 1918, 1938 and 1989, all of which are political events and turning points in German history. Two upright concrete pillars flank two diagonal and seemingly intersecting concrete columns. Together they form a Roman IX and XI that can be read from both sides. The concrete material is intended as a reminder of the most recent event, the fall of the Berlin Wall. Cast-in letters also refer to the events associated with the dates and explain them at the same time.
