OAK PLANTING IN HONOR OF JOSEPH BEUYS
WILHELM LÖHE CENTRE , DIAKONISCHES WERK

On November 23, there was a joint planting campaign of three important social institutions in Traunreut: Jugendsiedlung, Lebenshilfe and Wilhelm-Löhe-Centre. The tree planting was accompanied by Johannes Stüttgen. As a master student, closest collaborator and artist colleague of Joseph Beuys, he conveys the meaning and the context of the planting in a particularly vivid way. At 2 p.m. in the auditorium of the Jugendsiedlung, he spoke about tree planting as a sign of a new idea of the future. Afterwards, the planting partners moved on to the Wilhelm Löhe Centre, where a prominent spot in the green area in front of the residential home had been chosen for the planting. The relatively small oak grew particularly well due to its young age and already impressed with its lush greenery the following year.
