The Windsbraut is a polished stainless-steel sculpture by E. R. Nele on Dalbergplatz in Frankfurt-Höchst. Its steel surface catches the light above the square. Rising more than five metres, the sculpture combines an angular spiral with a stylised floating female figure. Both forms balance above a steel base. A ball joint lets the upper section move with the wind, giving the artwork a changing outline. Its polished structure weighs nine hundred kilograms in total. Special dowels anchor the sculpture, while its steel construction echoes the nearby Taunusbahn railway bridge. The artwork marks the entrance to Frankfurt’s Höchst district. The city commissioned Windsbraut as a visual focal point for the redesigned Dalbergplatz. The spot is wheelchair accessible and belongs to Frankfurt’s public art landscape. Its moving upper form brings the sculpture into a visible conversation with the wind above Dalbergplatz. The spot is recorded as wheelchair accessible at Dalbergplatz.
