Attractions and Places To See around Wagenfeld - Top 20

In the middle of the beautiful landscape along the sculpture trail are the impressive Fibonacci Cubes by artist Petra Paffenholz. If you don't know the background, you'll inevitably wonder what their meaning is. An information panel next to the artwork will give you the answer. The Fibonacci Cubes are the artist's take on the theme of infinity. The nine permeable cubes of different sizes stand in the expansive agricultural landscape. The dimensions of the cubes are derived from the Fibonacci series. The Fibonacci sequence is the infinite sequence of natural numbers that begins with two times the number 1, and in which each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. In modern notation, this sequence is additionally given a leading number 0: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55... The numbers contained therein are called Fibonacci numbers. The sequence is named after Leonardo Fibonacci, who used it to describe the growth of a rabbit population as early as 1202. However, the sequence was already known in ancient times to both the Greeks and the Indians. Further research has shown that the Fibonacci sequence also describes numerous other growth processes in nature. It seems as if it is a kind of growth pattern in nature. Highly interesting and initially easy to follow, but increasingly difficult to understand the deeper you delve into this subject and the associated mathematical formulas. This is "higher mathematics" that you have to like and understand. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci-Folge https://www.stadt-diepholz.de/info/poi/fibonacci-cubes-903000152-21770.html

The approximately 100-meter-long wooden footbridge leads into the reed zone and pasture belt of the "Hohe Sieben" nature reserve, which also features a birdwatching station. It's worth parking your bike here for a while and exploring the surrounding nature on foot. You certainly won't regret it and will be glad you took a short break here afterwards. 👋😉 https://willkommen.dwl.duemmer.de/de/duemmer/streaming/detail/POI/p_100054347/schilferlebnissteg

Well - a perfect circle?! But a lot of effort was put into creating two interlocking circles out of wood and structural steel mesh.

Wolfgang Zellhorst, a Diepholz resident who lives on the sculpture trail himself and volunteers for tourism in Diepholz, has even created two videos about the trail and its sculptures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewABqvhXiKc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4tCBO1RSJk

Pablo Hirndorf's family comes from Silesia and after the end of the Second World War in 1946 they settled in the district of Altenbücken in the municipality of Bücken in Lower Saxony. His father practiced painting. From an early age, Pablo Hirndorf played and worked artistically with whatever was available at home due to his father's job: materials in the form of leftover paint, old wallpaper books or lumps of putty for modelling. From 1984 to 1986 Pablo Hirndorf studied art education at the University of Hanover, from 1986 to 1992 free art at the University of Applied Sciences in Hanover with Peter Krahe, Helmut Rogge and Verena Vernunft. In 1991 he received his diploma and in the same year became a member of the Lower Saxony Association of Visual Artists. In 1992, Hirndorf completed the Fine Art course at the University of Applied Sciences in Hanover as a master student. In 1993 he received a studio grant from the state of Lower Saxony. In the same year, Pablo Hirndorf founded a studio in Warpe in the district of Nienburg/Weser in Lower Saxony. Hirndorf decided to consciously live with his family in the middle of nature.

In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Fibonacci cubes or Fibonacci networks are a family of undirected graphs with extensive recursive properties due to their origin in number theory. Mathematically, they are similar to hypercube graphs, but have a Fibonacci number of vertices. Fibonacci cubes were first explicitly defined in Hsu (1993) in the context of connection topologies for connecting parallel or distributed systems. They have also been applied in chemical graph theory. The Fibonacci cube can be defined in terms of Fibonacci codes and Hamming distance, independent vertex sets in path diagrams, or via distributional lattices.

As part of land consolidation measures, a new route was planned west of the B 51 from Diepholz to Dümmer - or vice versa - a few years ago. Over time, a total of 21 works of art were created, each in collaboration between an artist and a group of citizens of the region. The aim of the sculpture trail was to connect art and nature. At the same time, an attractive path connection for cyclists and pedestrians from Diepholz to Dümmer and back as well as a tourism offer of supra-regional importance should be created. The sculpture path is regularly maintained, renewed and expanded. The new sculpture “Zeitzeichen” was only opened in 2022.

The Schilfsteg am Dümmer is a special resting place in the "Hohe Sieben" nature reserve. The structure ends with a covered observation point. Information about the reed and its use is given on display boards.
