Curated by the Heike Strellow Gallery in Frankfurt and on behalf of the Koblenz Garden Days, this work is to be preserved on a permanent basis. It is located on the grounds of the fortress with a view of the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The cliff itself is made of slate, which underlies most of the region and gives the wines a distinctive taste. The material used was waste from the slate factory. 14m. In diameter.

This artwork of slate is said to resemble a vortex that seems to spring from the depths of the rocky plateau
