Lighthouse of Humanity on Tannenriegel

Thanks to the great commitment of many voluntary helpers and sponsors, this building, based on an idea by Ralph Wenzel, was realized on the Tannenriegel (Gibacht, Waldmünchen). In arduous hard work, around 10 tons of stones were walled up, some of which come from different regions and countries around the world. To the west, 4 hand-cast glass elements were used, which glow at night using solar technology. In addition 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 one another.

On the western foothills of the Gibacht mountain, the fir tree, there is also the "lighthouse of humanity". This remarkable tower was built with stones from all over the world. The lighthouse is dedicated to the reconciliation between peoples and their different religions. Here you also have a wonderful view of the "Upper Palatinate hill country".

The tower of humanity, built by volunteers, based on an idea by Ralph Wenzel. The blue glass disc represents the earth above it the Islamic crescent, above it the Christian cross and above the Jewish Star of David. Built of stones from all over the world.
