Sculpture "Vegetative" Rahlstedt

Hidden in a small green space at Hegen in Hamburg-Rahlstedt
stands the bronze sculpture "Vegetativ," created in 1968 by the sculptor
Vilma Lehrmann-Amschler.Those who discover it encounter a work that deliberately eludes classical figuration—instead playing with organic forms, flowing lines, and vegetative allusions."Vegetativ" appears like a frozen growth process: The bronze seems to sprout,
twist, and unfold—almost like a plant making its way through the space. With a reduced formal language, Lehrmann-Amschler succeeds in creating a vibrant dynamic that invites the viewer to reflect on nature, movement, and transformation.The sculpture is part of Rahlstedt's art landscape, which is characterized by numerous works
in public spaces. Its unobtrusive placement –
behind a residential building, nestled in the greenery – makes it a quiet place of experience.Not a monument, not a pathos, but a poetic impulse in everyday life.Vilma Lehrmann-Amschler was a versatile artist who helped shape Hamburg's urban space for decades. Her works – often made of bronze – combine craftsmanship, expression, and attitude. "Vegetative" is a beautiful example of her ability to make the seemingly invisible visible: growth, development, life itself.sh-kunst.de
