Poetry

Egon Altdorf enjoyed the challenge of creating sculptures and works of art for public sites, to be appreciated by a wider audience. Between 1966 and 1983 he designed furnishings and glass for the interior of a new synagogue built in Wiesbaden’s Friedrichstrasse, a building considered to be one of the finest post-war examples of synagogue architecture in Germany. Other commissions included glass for a cemetery chapel in Wambach (1972), the painted interior and exterior scheme for a sports hall in Saulheim (1973) and works innovatively combining sculpture and wall-painting.
