art and community in danger: the Fuchs parade of Reinickendorf under fire

In Reinickendorf, a district of Berlin, the citizens are faced with an unfortunate situation: the artistically designed foxes that serve as symbols for community and creativity have suffered from vandalism in recent weeks. A total of four of the 20 sculptures were irreparably damaged or even stolen. These attacks not only raise questions about the security of public art, but also endanger the cultural identity of the district.

Last Sunday, district mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner (CDU) reacted immediately to the incidents. Due to the increasingly worrying situation, she had all the remaining foxes removed as a precaution in order to prevent further damage. The employees of the street and green space office worked quickly to bring the sculptures undamaged to the district office.

"It is terrifying how repeatedly an important symbol of the community and cohesion in our fox district is destroyed," said Demirbüken-Wegner in a public statement. Their statements reflect the concerns of the residents who consider the foxes as identity -creating works of art. These were developed by City-Tax funds and painted by local artists. You should not only promote the creativity of the region, but also strengthen the common sense.

The vandalism incidents are not an isolated case. In addition to the statue in Waidmannslust, figures on Ludolfingerplatz in Frohnau, at the old pheasant series in Lübars and at Barschelplatz in Tegelort were also attacked. The consideration of examining alternative concepts for future art projects shows that the district not only wants to react, but also want to work proactively on its cultural landscape.

These events stand up for a major problem: securing cultural spots that are important for the sense of community remains an important challenge. It is crucial that society develops solutions together to preserve and continue to protect art and culture in public.
