The artists Uli Lamp and Motz Tietze have created an impressive work of art made of steel for the large inner surface.

The replica of the Celtic axle nail, which was discovered in 1962 on the Donnersberg plateau and is considered a unique find of its kind, is six meters high. He is leaning on a wheel fragment that not only refers to the coats of arms of the Donnersbergkreis and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, but also to the roundabout as a traffic junction, as Motz Tietze noted.

According to Uli Lamp, implementing the designs was "a technical challenge". They "worked with Stone Age methods to bring this work of art into shape," he said and quoted Karl Valentin with a wink: "Art is beautiful, but it is a lot of work."

The geographical center of the Donnersbergkreis is recognized accordingly and the central traffic junction at the Bastenhaus, which has been allowing traffic to flow more quickly and safely since 2017, has undergone an artistic upgrade.
