The "Friesendom" is a sculpture for the victims of the past storm surges and a memorial for the constant threat to our coast from the sea. It forms a cross in plan, which is aligned with the four cardinal points (cloister). The bronze bell (The Friesian) in the center begins to ring at hurricane-force winds and warns - as it has for centuries - of the storm and the sea.Prime Minister Christian Wulff had the idea and the creation of the "Friesendom" explained to him in detail by the sculptor Eckart Grenzer.
