"Tanz der Winde (Dance of the Winds)" by Jörg Wiele

The sculpture “Tanz der Winde” (“Dance of the Winds”) by artist Jörg Wiele creates a graceful dialogue between art and nature. Positioned in the waters of Steinhude, it seems to come alive through the elements—its surfaces responding to wind, rain, light, and shadow. Depending on the play of forces, the sculpture transforms from a delicate flowing line into a powerful, spatial form that radiates strength and presence. Its movement evokes a sense of rhythm and vitality, as if the air itself were sculpting its contours anew with each gust. Viewers witness not only a work of art but an ever-changing performance by nature and steel, inviting contemplation and quiet wonder. This kinetic quality gives “Tanz der Winde” a unique emotional depth, bridging the boundaries between stillness and motion, form and fluidity. Commissioned by the Verkehrsverein Steinhuder Meer e.V. and installed by the Wunstorf municipal works in 2006, the sculpture stands as a symbol of harmony between human creativity and the natural world—an artwork that truly dances with the wind.
