In August 2018 the colour object “Der Farbwald” (The Colour Forest), which was created for the State Garden Show in Landau/Pfalz in 2015 and stood there in a prominent position through the summer of the garden show, was newly erected on the banks of the river Moselle in Koblenz. Here the object accentuates a park that is used by joggers and walkers. The Colour Forest is clearly visible from the opposite bank of the Moselle and from federal road no. 49 when leaving the city.
