Buxtehuder Bulle shines in golden light - a work of art enthusiastic!

Buxtehude, Deutschland - in Buxtehude now shines the famous sculpture of Buxtehuder Bullen in a new, golden shine! Initiator Peter Schmidt launched this impressive play of light, and he uses advanced LED technology that dives the work of art in warm light when dark. This staging belongs to the "Symphony of Light", a project that Schmidt has been pursuing with great passion for years. He was inspired by the Festival of Lights in Berlin and uses his creative skills to not only illuminate the bull, but also to illuminate the city's significant landmark.

The lighting of the bull is not an easy undertaking, explains the experienced sound master. "Light reflects different depending on the material and color, and in order to achieve the perfect effect, many tests and experiments are necessary," said Schmidt. With patience and a trained eye, he found the perfect light intensity that gives the bull a majestic appearance. Other objects in Buxtehude have already staged him with creative light installations. These include the illuminated "Kogge" and the impressive St. Petri Church Tower, both of which create fascinating moods in the evening.

But the Buxtehuder Bulle not only has a visual meaning. He also contributes to the culture of the city by giving the literature prize of the same name annually, which distinguishes the best youth book. The Buxtehuder Bulle, one of the oldest literature prices in Germany, promotes not only German -speaking authors, but also translated works. Each winner receives a steel sculpture of the bull and a prize money of 5,000 euros. A jury, consisting of eleven young people and eleven adults, evaluates the works and ensures that the best books are awarded to arouse the reading of the reading of young people, as is explained on Buxehuder-bulle.de
