Bamberg's Barbara Bollerhoff Sculpture Restoration Plan Unveiled
Bamberg's iconic Barbara Bollerhoff sculpture is set for restoration. Mayor Andreas Starke and the artist's heirs recently held a productive zoom meeting, agreeing on a balanced plan for the sign's future. Man City has committed to promptly contact suitable restoration businesses, with the next Cultural Senate meeting on November 13 slated to clarify framework conditions.
The city will explore the possibility of preserving and professionally restoring the original sculpture. To aid in decision-making, the heirs will receive an updated cost estimate for an alternative steel construction. Meanwhile, the current outdoor artwork will be secured and protected from wind and weather by October. The city will also consult restorer Josef Mach to verify and restore the original state of the sculpture.
The previous decision to acquire a different sign may be revisited. A fundraising campaign will be launched to finance the chosen restoration option. Mayor Starke emphasized their commitment to balancing interests fairly, with all parties reaching a fair and balanced understanding on the sign's future.
