Landscape Park Leipzig-Cospuden "Wind-Water-Garden"
Client: City of Leipzig, Saxony, Germany
Area: 0,1 ha
Budget: 50 000 EUR
Completion: 2000

The project "Landschaftspark Cospuden" (Cospuden landscape park) is part of the EXPO Leipzig and is a documentation of the transition of a former surface mining area into a landscape park and recreation area. Embedded into the park close to the "Lauer Waldbad" (Lauer open-air pool) are the "Wassergärten" (water gardens) which are an important focal point. The "Wind-Wasser-Garten" (wind and water garden) is an interpretation of the natural location in close proximity to the reedy lakeshore. Moving metal figurines are placed on long steel poles that are anchored within a circular depression which is overgrown with grass. Like fish swimming against the current colourful metal flags are moving in the wind. A narrow path leads down towards the centre of the artificial lake.
