The botanical garden was part of the original palace complex, which was completed after nearly 20 years of construction in 1787 as the last large baroque residence in Germany.

Two of those benches remain on a tree-lined path in the park today. They are positioned in such a way that they incorporate a nearby monument made by sculptor Alexander Frerichmann in 1923. The inscription on the war memorial states: \"Even if everything around us has sunk, let us not ourselves degenerate! Maintain both sword and honour undefiled! Our dead ones \u2013 await!\"\r\n \tThe text inscribed on the benches gives an anonymous account of the most brutal acts of war, which are all the more disturbing because of the succinct language they use. There are phrases like: \"People go to the river where it is lush and muddy to shoot captives, to float or sink them.\" Or \"The soldiers shoot at running women and children who want to sneak away.\" They contain no indication of what war is being described and the authors are not mentioned.\r\n \tThe font is the same as that of gravestones in American cemeteries. As such, the benches are perceived less as seating than as grave slabs or epitaphs. These aggressive, but sometimes abstract poetic inscriptions visually complement the war memorial, while also opposing it in terms of content.\r\n\r\n \tAdditional Information:<span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> www.skulptur-projekte.de<br \/><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n \tFurther Reading:\r\n \t<em>Skulptur-Projekte 1987 in M\u00fcnster<\/em>, eds.

In this way, Fran\u00e7ois Morellet incorporated these three purely geometrical shapes into the otherwise soft lines of the landscaped park. This geometry is reminiscent of baroque French garden art, nodding to the fact that the park was originally designed by baroque architect G. L. Pictorius to feature strict symmetry and geometry. However, W. F. Lipper's designs were implemented instead, using the English landscape garden as a model. The conflict between these two fundamental concepts of art and nature is expressed with simultaneous restraint and tension in Morellet's contribution to the 1987 Skulptur Projekte.\r\n\r\n \tAdditional information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwl.org\/skulptur-projekte-download\/muenster\/87\/morell\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">www.lwl.org\/skulptur-projekte-download\/muenster\/87\/morell\/index.htm<\/a>\r\n\r\n \tFurther reading:\r\n \t<em>Skulptur-Projekte 1987 in M\u00fcnster<\/em>, eds.

The plaque was then mounted four meters above the Droste family grave on the trunk of a poplar in the old \u00dcberwasser-Friedhof. \r\n \tAs a poet himself, Ian Hamilton Finlay condenses his writings down to the point that some poems are no longer than a single word. To achieve their full effect, these poems are inscribed on sandstone tablets \u2013 much like the Annette epitaph \u2013 and placed in the context of nature. As is the case with the Droste-H\u00fclshoff quote, the words\u2019 meanings only truly unfold through their interaction with their surroundings. Contemporary viewers may question Annette\u2019s self-assuredness in the longevity of her words and read it more as an expression of the desire to endure beyond one\u2019s individual existence.

The work itself appears similarly disparate: it consists of a metal arch with mirrored slats, as well as an ensemble of 16 spherical and five pyramid-shaped yews. These elements were arranged geometrically on a rectangular lawn with old trees in the courtyard of the law faculty at the university, so that the grass and the yews appear in multiple refractions in the mirrored surfaces. \r\nHere, as in many of his works, Harald Klingelh\u00f6ller's sculpture focusses on spoken and visual signs that produce meaning through the composition of individual forms.

Here, the artist has made it taller and incorporated it in a series, thus reinterpreting it as a sculpture.\r\nIn fact, the artwork mimics the usual method of incorporating the bike racks in a series and the extra tall element takes on a new function as a planter for two types of trees.
