The successful completion of the renovation of Fridtjof-Nansen-Strasse was celebrated with a ceremony on the museum grounds. On this occasion, the "Oak Planting in Honor of Joseph Beuys" was continued with two more oaks and basalt stelae on the newly created walkway in front of the entrance gate of DASMAXIMUM.
As part of the reopening of the newly designed Fridtjof-Nansen-Strasse, the town of Traunreut not only planted two oak trees on Nansenstrasse, but also the particularly central oak tree with monumental basalt stele in the entrance area next to the museum gate.
Cornelia Linnhoff, headmistress of the Walter-Mohr-Realschule and her colleagues were immediately
enthusiastic about the idea of setting tree and stele in memory of the Beuys project 7000 oaks.
With reference to the historical function of the "village lime tree" as a central meeting place . . .
To date, the most prominent place for an oak planting in honor of Joseph Beuys is the Traunreut town hall square. The citizens' wish for more greenery on the square played a role in the choice of location, but also the idea that the action, which has its starting point in the city, should be visible in a central location.
On November 18, in cooperation with the city of Burghausen, an oak tree with a basalt stele was planted in a prominent location in the courtyard of Raithenhaslach Monastery. To set the mood, Johannes Stüttgen, artist, art theorist and companion of Joseph Beuys, embedded the planting of the oak tree in the theme "Redefinition of Art in the Present" in the packed auditorium of the monastery.
