A 5 x 5 meter concrete cube, the Arbogast Water House, has been standing in a valley basin in the Götzner district of Arbogast since 2003. Its walls and ceiling are riddled with 820 precisely drilled round openings - a masterpiece of engineering. When you step inside, you can see the drinking fountain, the water basin on the floor, light reflections and the surrounding nature. It is a space of peace and contemplation, a place where awareness of the life-giving, precious and at the same time endangered element of water is heightened.
