On display are life-size bronze figures of the venerable Heinrich Schütz and the young Friedrich von Hardenberg, also known as Novalis. They sit facing each other, engaged in dialogue. A scenario that could never have occurred in real life, since the composer and the poet lived in different centuries. Citizens can sit between the two famous sons of the city, take photos, or simply enjoy a moment of peace.
