Walross auf Landgang

Walross auf Landgang stands along the Kieler Hörn promenade in Kiel, where three concrete walruses emerge from the paved ground. Colorful ceramic mosaic tiles cover their smooth bodies, while each figure looks in a different direction.

Susanne Siegl completed the sculpture in 2006 as public art designed for play and interaction. You can sit on the rounded forms or climb across them, creating a lively contrast with the surrounding grey stone and concrete.

The three animals turn an ordinary promenade into a bright meeting point, with their mosaic surfaces catching attention from several directions.
