The Frisian Cathedral in Dangast

Created in my head in 1999.

Was made possible by sponsors and funding from the EU in 2004.

Inauguration of the Friesendom on August 24, 2005.

Guests: e.g. Lower Saxony Prime Minister Christian Wulff.

The sculpture is made out of a 100 ton granite block and stuff
split so that the 4 elements could be rejoined,
so that the visitor to the Friesendom is told that they are inside a granite block. (SOURCE: www.eckart Grenzer.de)

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.
