On the Union-Gel\u00e4nde, two illuminated symbols create a bridge between yesterday and today. Artist Fabian Thiele uses fragments of urban everyday life for his works \u201eHOPE\u201c and the \u201eCross of Hope\u201c \u2013 letters and signs that once pointed the way to Frankfurt and Offenbach pharmacies. Today, they shine in a new context and speak of constancy and unwavering faith in tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Work HOPE (2025)<\/strong> consists of solid metal letters that were once part of the lettering for the \u201eBahnhof Apotheke\u201c (Train Station Pharmacy) in Offenbach. Under Thiele's hands, they transform into a radiant statement. It's a play on origin: where healing was once promised, confidence now shines. The rough aesthetic of the metal combines with the delicate glow of neon to form a sculpture that beams far beyond the grounds. At the exit to Lindleystra\u00dfe, you'll find the Cross of Hope (2023 \/ 2025)<\/strong>. This object \u2013 formerly the sign of the \u201eEichwald Apotheke\u201c in Frankfurt \u2013 has been reinterpreted. The green cross, a universal symbol of help and care, becomes an artistic anchor point here. Fabian Thiele preserves the soul of these urban found objects and transforms them into a light installation that reminds us: hope is not an abstract concept, but a glow that we ourselves keep alive.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Auf dem Union-Gel\u00e4nde begegnen uns zwei leuchtende Symbole, die eine Br\u00fccke zwischen gestern und heute schlagen.
