The Symposium Urbanum was a sculpture symposium held in Nuremberg in 1971 to mark the 500th birthday of Albrecht Dürer. The Austrian sculptor Karl Prantl had given the impetus, the Nuremberg gallery owner and manufacturer Hansfried Defet pursued the idea further. Finally, the organization Symposium Urbanum Nürnberg 71 e. V. responsible for Hansfried Defet, Professor Gerhard G. Dittrich, Otto Peter Görl, Karl Friedrich Hartje, Dr. Wolfgang Young, Dr. Hanns Lottes, Dr. Eberhard Roters and Dr. Karl Gerhard Schmidt was one of its members.

Buky Schwartz: Unexpected I, plastic made of Corten steel, set up in 1971 as part of the Symposium Urbanum

The exhibition of sculptures in public urban space caused a sensation at the time.[1][2] Many of the works of art that were mainly displayed in the old town at that time remained in Nuremberg - even if some of them were moved to other places.
