About
The Spitzhacke, also known as the "Pickaxe," is a notable public art installation in Kassel, Germany. Created by the renowned artist Claes Oldenburg in 1982, this large-scale sculpture is part of Oldenburg's series of oversized everyday objects. The sculpture depicts a giant pickaxe lodged into the ground, symbolizing the effort and labor involved in shaping the urban landscape. Positioned along the Fulda River, the Spitzhacke aligns with the axis of the Hercules monument in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, integrating itself into Kassel's rich cultural and historical context.
