The capital of art and the capital of revolution were to be linked. The idea was not realized, but forgotten. In the 1970s, the sculptor Leo Kornbrust revived the idea. He began the first section in St. Wendel/Saar, which now has over 50 sculptures. There are three sections of the sculpture trail in Lower Saxony: in Salzgitter, Lamspringe and Braunschweig.

The character of a city is evidenced by its cultural activities and the signs it gives its citizens. Salzgitter is a city that lives with nature and landscape like no other. Urban surroundings and fields, forests and meadows together form the living space. At the same time, the industrial structures of ore mining and smelting have shaped the region and its people.

Together with the artists and Salzgitter AG, the plan has been realized to erect 10 sculptures on the southern edge of the city on this section of the international sculpture trail, which are in dialogue with the landscape and the technology. This is a symbolic realization of what has long been a reality in economic life. A European idea is being turned into a new landmark for the city by international artists.

Five sculptures can be found on the "Mahner Berg" golf course, while the remaining five can be admired around the Thermalsolbad and in the neighboring Greifpark/Kurpark.
