Auseinandersetzung
“Auseinandersetzung” is a compelling public sculpture in Düsseldorf that captures the tension and dialogue of human conflict. Created by sculptor Karl-Henning Seemann, the work features two life-sized bronze male figures locked in a silent confrontation. Installed in 1981 on Mittelstraße in the Altstadt, the piece invites passersby to reflect on disagreement, negotiation, and resolution. The figures—one assertive, the other defensive—embody psychological and social dynamics that resonate beyond their physical stance. Seemann’s intent was to provoke thought about how individuals and societies handle disputes. The sculpture’s placement in a busy pedestrian zone enhances its impact, making it a daily encounter for locals and visitors alike. “Auseinandersetzung” is not just an artwork—it’s a mirror of civic discourse and a subtle reminder of the value of dialogue.
