The Lichtbogen Denkmal, created by artist Richard A. Cox, is a compelling interactive light sculpture integrated into the historic landscape of Soest. Positioned at a strategic breakthrough in the medieval city walls, the monument stands at the junction of the moat and the 'Beamtenlaufbahn' (Officials' Path). This modern installation acts as a symbolic threshold, bridging the historic old town with its outer reaches. Its placement in the Steingraben area makes it a focal point for those walking the wall perimeter, offering a unique blend of contemporary art and centuries-old architecture.
