OAK PLANTING IN HONOR OF JOSEPH BEUYS
TOWN HALL SQUARE TRAUNREUT

 

 

The most prominent place for an "Oak Planting in Honor of Joseph Beuys" to date is the Traunreut town hall square. The citizens' wish for more greenery on the square played a central role in the choice of this location, but also the idea that the planting campaign, which has its starting point in the city, should also be visible in a central location. Despite the icy cold on the day of planting, numerous people in charge, members of the DASMAXIMUM Circle of Friends and citizens came and were carried away by the positive mood.
