City marking S03/ A Walk along the Border
Take a look
In 1990 the city of Groningen celebrated its 950 th anniversary and a contemporary city gate was placed at each main entrance road of the city to mark this. Architect Daniel Libeskind developed these city gates. City marking S03 at the Rozenburglaan is a forest of crooked posts with a wedge at about eight metres high. The work of art represents an open book with paintings of historic fragments the artist used to express that the city’s history is written by its residents. The paintings on the work were created by Groningen artists.

We can already hear you saying, ‘How is a centuries-old station hall off the beaten path?’. Yet in the hustle and bustle of modern life, we’re all compelled to just hurry from one appointment to the next, taking the beauty around us for granted.
