'Lux lucet in tenebris' (light shines in the darkness) is the motto of the Waldensians, who settled in Palmbach after their expulsion for religious reasons in the early 18th century. The sculpture by Barbara Jäger and OMI Riesterer, entitled "Gate of Arrival," commemorates this fact with a reduced, clear formal language. The location is Waldenserplatz in Karlsruhe-Palmbach.
