Rendsburg Eva statue at the Stadttheater

The Rendsburg Eva in front of the Stadttheater is already the second Eva sculpture in Rendsburg. Adolf Brütt's bronze sculpture Eva and her children from 1889 was originally displayed in Rendsburg, but this original cast was then displayed in the Gottorf Castle Sculpture Park, freeing up the original space. Instead, the almost 100 years younger bronze sculpture by Fritz Fleer from 1982 found its place in front of the Stadttheater in Rendsburg. Since Brütt's work was still missing in Rendsburg, a cast was made some time later, which now has its worthy place in the city park.If one compares the two works of art with one another, a completely different approach becomes apparent: while Adolf Brütt's work is narrative, naturalistic and lifelike, Fritz Fleer shows a generalized, stylized form. With his Eva, the focus is less on the individual portrait and more on the "constructed", tectonic body, which thus appears like the symbol of a woman. This also becomes clear in the facial features, which deliberately remain schematic and sketchy and leave out personal features.Data on the work:
