Is that a steering wheel on your lobe?

This rather large sculpture of Jürgen Goertz stands in front of the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis Hospital in Weinheim. Her earring is not the only impressive thing about her. But I’ve always been an earring woman. It’s the one piece of jewellery I never leave the house without it; in fact, I feel decidedly naked if I do forget it like once in a blue moon.

that selfies are not a modern invention.

This vain young man in the typical selfie pose has been standing in the garden of Schloss Stolzenfels for close to 200 years.

(Admittely I made a sword disappear but the pose is all his own.)

The definition of hell

· 6 Comments ·

“So this is hell. I’d never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the “burning marl.” Old wives’ tales! There’s no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is—other people!”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

During the last days of the war in April 1945 prisoners from the concentration camp Dachau walked in agony past this place to an unknown fate.

Sartre’s quote from his stage play has always been true. In small, insidious ways, and in large, horrific ways.

There were numerous death marches from concentration camps to other locations (i.e. away from the advance of the allied forces). In 2025 there was a remembrance march passing this sculpture in Bad Tölz behind a banner reading “Never again”.
