OAK PLANTING IN HONOR OF JOSEPH BEUYS
TOWN HALL COURTYARD, TRAUNREUT

As part of the "Oak Planting in Honor of Joseph Beuys" in Traunreut, four new oaks were planted in November 2016. At a prominent location in the courtyard of the town hall, the first municipal oak tree with an accompanying basalt stele was planted on November 24 at 3 p.m. in the presence of employees of the town hall and the DASMAXIMUM Foundation, city council members, members of the Friends and Sponsors of DASMAXIMUM, local residents and other planting partners.

The day before, Johannes Stüttgen, master student, closest collaborator and artist colleague of Joseph Beuys, held a lecture-performance on the meaning and context of planting as a sign of a new idea of the future.
