    Bronze model of the city center of Haltern am See with Braille on a scale of 1: 350 on a sandstone base.
    Artist: Egbert Broerken


    Egbert Broerken (* around 1950 in Hovestadt) is a German sculptor who is best known for his city models for the blind and visually impaired. By 2012 he had cast around 80 inner cities and individual objects such as churches and monasteries as miniature versions in bronze.
    His models are created using the lost wax technique.

    Haltern in small, to visit near the castle in the parking lot, made impressive
    Translated by
    Opposite the Old Town Hall, on the left side of the St. Sixtus Church, the “Blindentastmodell Haltern am See” by the artist Egbert Broerken (Welver) was installed. It offers an opportunity, especially for blind and visually impaired people, to take in the city's sights.

    Haltern am See on a scale of 1:350 was cast using the lost wax process, coated with special wax and then placed on a sandstone base. Prof. Broerken developed such bronze city models for the blind and sighted 20 years ago, and he registered the copyright for them.
