Tower Luxembourg Gift of the State of Luxembourg to the National Garden Show 2004
Steel symbol of friendship
With its rust-red cladding and extreme inclination, it looks almost threatening: The "Tower of Dreams and Sehnsuchten" was a gift from the City of Luxembourg to its neighboring city of Trier on the occasion of the State Garden Show 2004. The steel sculpture that can be walked on is a way up that is located in the Direction changes constantly and is supposed to inspire you to dream.The renowned architect François Valentiny from Remerschen, Luxembourg, designed this tower on behalf of the City of Luxembourg, which stands on a five-meter-high, man-made gravel bed. The artist Valentiny sees the striking steel construction near the Geocenter of the University of Trier as a "path to enjoyment, a kind of staircase that conveys sensations when climbing".The three-storey building, 20 meters high and 25 meters wide, "breaks into different directions", with the European city names Paris, Lisbon, Belfast, Warsaw and Athens attached to the visual axes. "When reading these places, a certain context should resonate with the visitor," says the architect. If you walk around the sculpture in summer, read the city name Lisbon and are on the viewing platform to the south, this arouses "associations in every individual" according to the architect's idea. On the top platform, the visitor looks towards Luxembourg City from a roofed room closed on the side. [1]
