Metalhenge 2

Metalhenge is the name of an astronomical viewing point and an art installation in Bremen , located at a height of about 40 meters on the eastern, disused part of the Blockland landfill.
Metalhenge was planned and built by the artist and actor Thomas Roth in cooperation with the Bremen City Cleaning Service. The mathematical calculations of the stele positions and the astronomical advice were provided by the physicist and former director of the Olbers Planetarium Bremen, Dieter Vornholz.
Metalhenge was opened on July 16, 2021 and is the first publicly accessible section of the Blockland landfill. The viewing point is located on a disused and renaturalized part of the mountain at a height of about 40 meters and offers a visibility of up to 23 kilometers.
The installation on the viewing point is based in its meaning and the orientation of the steles on Stonehenge , but also on other well-known archaeoastronomical structures such as Woodhenge or the circular ditch system of Goseck as well as on the Nebra Sky Disk .
The installation consists of 25 port sheet piles up to four meters high , all of which are aligned with astronomical celestial objects.
