Daxlander Ärschle

In 1990, the artist couple Barbara Jäger and OMI Riesterer made the 'Daxlander Ärschle' out of concrete and colorfully glazed clay shards. The work was discreetly inserted into the existing natural stone wall at eye level and between ivy. The lush piece of art provokes and amuses at the same time. The location is on a narrow part of Hahnenstraße, which connects Schlaucherplatz with Vorderstraße. Barbara Jäger studied from 1966 to 1970 at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe under Professors Walter Herzger, Fritz Klemm and Horst Antes. OMI Riesterer studied architecture from 1968 to 1977 at the then Karlsruhe Technical University (now KIT). The artistic collaboration of the couple, who are represented several times in the public space of the city of Karlsruhe, began in 1970.
