Who’s standing there at the riverside and showering? The “Everyday People” are coming to Neuwied! Starting in April 2025, life-sized concrete sculptures that artistically stage everyday scenes will enrich the city center of Neuwied. Until the end of June, the artworks invite you to rediscover public space. The first two figures have now arrived and offer a first glimpse. “The Showerers” are here They can already be admired: two sculptures titled “The Showerers” are recently set up on the dike area at the height of Schlossstraße. From a distance, one might initially be surprised and mistake them for “real people.” But as you approach, the life-sized concrete sculptures develop their own unique effect and dynamics. They are an artistic staging of the everyday. As touching snapshots, they show what is easily overlooked: life lived in its purest form – unvarnished, yet not banal. They remind us of how valuable and beautiful the simple, often overlooked moments of life are.

“The Showerers” are just the beginning of a whole series of everyday people who will populate the city center in spring. Many different figures will then move into Neuwied. Each one is an invitation to rediscover the city center of Neuwied. The life-sized sculptures sit on a bench, are deep in conversation, or simply enjoy the moment. They invite you to walk around them, touch them, or just observe them peacefully. And why not simply join in? A shower is free, and here anyone who wants to can join in and pose for photos. This way, the human figures become part of public life, showcase the beauty of the everyday, and create a new “photopoint.”

In case of high water, the showerers are on the newly designed market square.
