When the rails of the old port railway were dismantled in 2008, students of the Hochschule für Gestaltung (University of Design) campaigned for the preservation of a section about 300 meters long at Schlossstrasse. And they won the city of Offenbach for the idea: The cultural track on the banks of the Main - a place where people meet, where people come into conversation. A place of inspiration. At the heart of this idea is an old freight car - scene of cultural events and political discussions, which since 2008 take place there several times a week under the direction of HfG students.
Since 2010, the double helix of graduate designer Frank Flaskämper marks the other end of the cultural track. Flaskämper is a graduate of the product design department of the HfG. His large sculpture of rails and sleepers recalls the shape of the human genome.

Here the Mainradweg runs and you can look at the track in peace.

Double helix - yes that fits. The artwork is very successful.
