The sculpture garden in the Dietrichsruh courtyard is extremely popular with press and interested public. Once again this year, contemporary works are displayed in an excitingly differentiated context—both in their juxtaposition and as a counterpoint to the magical architectural setting—with the spire of the Franciscan Church towering dramatically above. On a walk round the garden, it is worth taking time to pause for contemplation, whether before the abstract styles of Austrian artists Michael Kienzer, Bruno Gironcoli and Karl Prantl, or the kinetic approach of American sculptor George Rickey. The sculpture garden is open daily 11 am – 6 pm from 4 until 26 August.
