Norbert Thiel (Berlin)
Stellwerk Thiel / Switch Tower Thiel
The artist Thiel freely interprets the subject of the Gerhart Hauptmann novel “Bahnwärter Thiel” (level-crossing keeper Thiel). The room features images of trains and gates, switch towers and train stations, mainly by night. Meanwhile you can see and hear the real trains as they rush past the window: a thrill that’s definitely not just for train fans! The attentive observer will discover supernatural themes in Thiel’s paintings, too.
