Tips

Marcello 🌿

October 5, 2021

The Marl Theater was built in 1953 by the Wuppertal architect Heinz Kiel and is considered a cultural driving force for Marl. It was the first new theater to be built in Germany after the Second World War. The Grimme Prize is also awarded in the theater every year. In front of the building is the sculpture (inverted locomotive) of La Tortuga by Wolf Vostell. "The artist did not use just any locomotive for his sculpture, but opted for a class 52 freight locomotive from the Second World War, with which the Deutsche Reichsbahn brought the material to the fronts as well as people to concentration camps. La Tortuga is also a symbol for the end of the machine age as well as the end of humanity. "
