The artist Erich Zimmer uses the words “departure”, “new beginning”, “thriving” and “growing” to combine nuts such as peas, beans, nuts and chestnuts. This is how the work of art “Entsprungen II” was created, which depicts the open shell halves of a horse chestnut. The protective shell just barely holds the fruit.

The result is a work of art by Erich Zimmer from Iffelforf, but also a bench for sitting down and holding. There is also a beautiful view of Melsungen from here.

Erich Zimmer, Iffeldorf
»Sprung II«

“One round – time out” – round and out and time? ... departure, new beginnings, flourishing and growing... With these thoughts I kept imagining bowls from which fruit springs. Nuts, peas, beans, chestnuts, horse chestnuts, pods such as those of the bread tree. My idea took shape – a cracked horse chestnut. Opened halves of the shell that are just holding on protectively to their fruit or have released it” (Erich Zimmer).
