Thanks to the great commitment of many voluntary helpers and sponsors, this building, based on an idea by Ralph Wenzel, could be realized on the Tannenriegel (Gibacht, Waldmünchen). About 10 tons of stones, some of which come from the most diverse regions and countries of the world, were laid in painstaking hard work. In the western direction, 4 hand-cast glass elements were used, which glow at night using solar technology. So, next to a disc of the world - an Islamic crescent, a Christian cross and a Star of David - send light signals into the world to call people to more peace and understanding among themselves.
