The seven sculptures on the theme of "The Seven Days of Creation - Seven SEE-Signs on Seven SEA Miles" were created in the Expo year 2000 as part of a sculpture symposium in Cäciliengroden. The symposium was held on the initiative of the Evangelical Lutheran Christ Church congregation in Sande-Cäciliengroden under the direction of Pastor Frank Klimmeck. From June 15 to July 15, 2000, the participating artists Nicolei Deppe (Bremen), Ivo Gohsmann (Oldenburg), Eckart Grenzer (Oldenburg), Adrian Jähne (Görlitz), Jo and Jutta Klose (Nordhorn), Norbert Pierdzig (Edewecht) and Thorsten Schütt (Horsten) worked on their sculptures outdoors in all weathers. The campaign met with such a positive response that the works of art were placed along the cycle path on the Jade Bay after their completion.[1]
In the summer of 2002, the idea of the sculpture path Art on the Dike was continued. At the Augustgroden dike construction site on the eastern Jade Bay, an almost identical group of artists created sculptures on the theme of "The Flood - Preservation of Creation behind the Dike". Wilfried Gerdes (Moordorf) stepped in for Adrian Jähne, who was unable to attend. The Flood sculptures were then placed along the cycle path on the eastern Jade Bay in autumn 2003.
In 2010, the sculpture path was supplemented by another work of art on the initiative of retired pastor Frank Klimmeck. The work of art "The Tower of Babel - God's Hut with the People"[2] on the Feldhauser Dike in Langwarden marks the provisional conclusion of the sculpture path around the Jade Bay. The inauguration took place in September 2010.[3] (Source: Wikipedia)
