    As part of the anniversary celebration "25 years of the Pro Argovia Cultural Foundation"
    In 1977 the desire arose to become the geographical center of Aargau
    determine. Students from the HTL Brugg-Windisch were assigned the center
    of the canton, whose outline points consist of several thousand boundary stones
    exist to calculate. The theoretically exact calculation of the center would have consisted in finding the coordinates of the individual boundary stones
    to evaluate, which at that time still procured individually from each municipality
    had to be. Due to time constraints, the students concentrated
    therefore on the evaluation of around 400 to 500 outline points from the
    Maps of the national topography. As a result of a complex math problem, the school's internal computer system finally spat out the
    coordinate 654.217/251.240.
    On the occasion of the anniversary "175 years of Canton Aargau" designed then
    the Niederlenzer local citizens in 1978 the center of the Aargau
    meeting place. In the center of the complex is a boulder from the region
    Göschenen, which was found in the Niederlenz gravel works. All around that
    In the center are eleven benches made of Jura limestone. The notches in the bench seats
    give the exact directions to the eleven district capitals.
