EN: This sculpture is located in the northeastern part of the city park of Rheinfelden. It has a diameter of about five meters and consists of several concrete segments which are slightly displaced seen from the side, but form an exact circle seen from the front. Inside, there is a gate-like opening, which has the shape of a six-pointed star (at least in the upper area).

Along the path in front of the sculpture, there is a bronze slab in the ground, which says that it was donated to the city in 1980 on occasion of the 850th anniversary of the city rights, by the cities of Aargau and by the artist, but it does not mention the names of the sculpture and the artist.

DE: Diese Skulptur steht im nordöstlichen Teil des Stadtparks von Rheinfelden. Sie hat einen Durchmesser von rund fünf Metern und besteht aus verschiedenen Betonsegmenten, die von der Seite leicht verschoben sind, von vorne aber einen exakten Kreis bilden. Im Inneren befindet sich eine torartige Öffnung, die (zumindest im oberen Bereich) die Form eines sechszackigen Sterns hat.

Am Wegrand vor der Skulptur befindet sich eine Bronzeplatte im Boden, die besagt, dass sie Skulptur, von den aargauischen Städten und dem Küstler 1980 zur 850-Jahr-Feier der Stadtgründung geschenkt wurde, aber nicht wie die Skulptur und der Künstler heissen.
