    Tips

    April 5, 2025

    Seven slate steles are arranged in the shape of a cross. From here, you can see the surrounding villages such as Allenbach, Wirschweiler, and Kempfeld. In various directions, you can spot special landmarks such as Wildenburg Castle, Erbeskopf (the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate), and old fortresses.

    The shadows cast by the steles change with the sun, thus indicating the time – similar to a sundial. The steles are made of very old slate, which was once the seabed. You can walk among them, touch them, and experience the power and history of the stone.

      7 Slate Steles "Time-Space-Time"

      Artist: X0 GERD EDINGER (2013)
      Seven slate steles arranged in a cross shape offer a panoramic view of the local communities of Allenbach, Wirschweiler, Sensweiler, Langweiler, and Kempfeld. The view includes the "Wildenburg" to the east, the "Hohenfels" and the "Kirschweiler Fortress" to the southeast, the "Ringkopf" as a Celtic ring wall to the south, the "Erbeskopf" (Erbe's Head) at 816 m to the southwest, and the "Idarwald Ski Area" mountain range to the north. The position of the sun creates a form of time measurement through the shadows cast by the steles. The installation is accessible and allows the visitor to experience the monumental energy of millions of years old slate, which was once the seabed, while opening up different perspectives and possibilities for perception.
