Location
Architect Daniel Libeskind developed these city gates. City gate S06 stands on Wolddijk, along the N46. This is a monument to death, created by artist Heiner Müller. It is six horizontal beams that together represent the map of the world. On these beams, war fires are marked with red dots. The artist asked composer Nono to compose music to accompany the artwork. Unfortunately, he died prematurely. In memory of his friend, Müller had 'Bruchstück für Luigi Nono' engraved on the natural stone tower.
