    Artist: The sculpture was created by Andreas von Weizsäcker.
    Origin: The work was installed in 2001 on the station forecourt.
    Material: It is made of solid cast iron.
    Meaning: The suitcases serve as a symbol for travel, but also for arrival and the burdens people carry with them. They form a bridge between the historical architecture of the neo-baroque station and modern mobility.

    Some suitcases that look deceptively real set special accents here. By no means put away temporarily, but firmly anchored, they are cast-iron art cases that are not called "Heavy Luggage" for nothing. It was designed by Andreas von Weizsäcker, originally for the 2004 Wiesbaden Art Summer.
