Stories from Stendal · Germany

Authorities have established a restricted zone in Thuringia following the detection of a highly infectious bee disease. The exclusion zone covers the northern districts of Borstel and Ünglingen, as well as the southern areas of Warburg and Bindfelde.

A group in Stendal has identified 30 works of East German public art for increased recognition. Bärbel Hornemann, a member of the group and local curator for the German Foundation for Monument Protection, announced the start of the initiative at a former polyclinic.

The group Kunst im Kontext is advocating for increased recognition of East German (DDR) art in public spaces in Stendal. The group has documented 30 artworks for future installation of information plaques to grant them monument status. This initiative aims to preserve the historical context of these pieces. Organizers intend to tell the stories behind these works and ensure living artists receive appreciation. An event regarding this recognition is scheduled for 13:00 in Stendal.
