Reiner Seliger gave the title “Night whispers of the towers” to the three sculptures he created on site in the Oberwiesen amusement park in the summer of 2021. He uses used materials for his work and uses recycling and upcycling as an artistic principle.

There are three pillars standing around, but it is also explained why.

The stones come from old houses, some from the 1920s, in Eschborn and Niederhöchstadt. Sometimes there were large quantities, as in the case of the demolition of the former building yard and ASB on Unterortstrasse, and sometimes it was just a foundation stone. In an intensive artistic process, the artist created three towers of different heights that reach high into the sky and enter into a silent dialogue with themselves and their surroundings. The material used in the sculptures is particularly fascinating. Bricks are considered a supposedly staid material in architecture. The building material seems to have gone out of fashion. But urban development developments up to the present day show that bricks have proven to be durable. They combine many good qualities: they are practical and flexible, they appear dignified and modest at the same time. The facades of the buildings appear simple, straightforward and elegant. This simplicity and clarity of aesthetics is continued in the Eschborn work of art. When looking at the sculptures, the play of colors of the different types of stone catches the eye. The clinker bricks fired in a ring kiln are particularly effective in their different shades of orange. The color revealed when the bricks are broken is always a surprise for the artist. The broken surface and patina of the material are also impressive. It is above all the irregularity of the bricks that gives the sculptures an enormous liveliness. Even when selecting them, the artist is mindful of the piecemeal and broken nature of the material: the more used the bricks are, the better they are suited. It is the bricks that have been used since time immemorial that stand out. By incorporating bricks and tiles, the memory of Eschborn's past and its tradition of brickmaking is preserved.
