Double Feature at the Orangerie

A striking art installation in Detmold, featuring a massive spherical sculpture, became the center of a bizarre incident when it was dislodged and rolled down a sloped road. The event occurred after a recent storm compromised the structure's safety, leading to an emergency response from local authorities.
The sculpture, which stands at four meters tall and weighs two tons, is typically displayed in a roundabout. Following severe weather conditions in early April, the supports for the sphere were damaged, prompting city officials to place the sculpture in a gravel bed within the roundabout as a temporary measure. To further secure it, the city used straps, chains, and erected a construction fence around the installation.
However, during the night, unknown individuals removed the construction fence and tampered with the supports, allowing the sculpture to roll approximately 50 meters down an inclined street before landing in a roadside ditch. This incident resulted in damage to a street lamp and a traffic sign.
The mayor expressed deep concern over the potential dangers posed by the removal of the sculpture, describing it as a severe disruption to public safety that could have led to serious consequences. The local police are currently investigating the matter, focusing on identifying the individuals responsible for this reckless act. Charges related to endangerment in traffic and property damage are being considered against those involved.
As the situation develops, city officials are looking into measures to prevent future incidents of this nature and to restore the art installation to its original position safely.
