The Dancer

Opposite the sculpture “Ringende” (Wrestlers) on the large lawn in the main part of the park is the graceful bronze sculpture ‘Tänzerin’ (Dancer). It was created by Gerhard Lichtenfeld in 1965. The artwork is also known as “Tanzendes Mädchen” (Dancing Girl). The artist Gerhard Lichtenfeld was born in Halle in 1921 and died on his 57th birthday. He initially studied law at Martin Luther University in Halle, but then decided to study at the Institute for Artistic Design at Burg Giebichenstein. He later worked at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. His works can be found in Cairo, Moscow, and New Delhi, among other places.
