Properties:
The idea was born in 2018 when the bus shelters were destroyed by bullets. The municipality of Bad Sassendorf first equipped them with bulletproof glass and then financed the colourful paintings, which now fascinate not only people waiting for the bus, but also walkers and drivers.
Eight members of the artists' workshop set off to the district and its surroundings to select particularly pretty, striking motifs.
Mia Popp conjured up radiant rapeseed fields on the canvas, Rabea Ricken created a delicate butterfly, Brigitte Neumärker-Stiewe chose a water buffalo from the Woeste as her motif, Franz Lause brought storks into the picturesque play, Martin Ellerkmann drew the town's landmark, the St. Christophorus Church, Elvira Sottmann painted a colorful kingfisher, Karin Boch the Scottish Highland cattle, and Ludwig Jarmuth breathed life into the eagle owl with brush and paint.
The pictures, which were created using different painting techniques, were then mounted on appropriate films and attached to the walls of the three bus shelters. The layout for the design of the bus shelters was created by Angelika Cosmann, chairwoman of the local history and culture association.
