    The Wesertal model is made up of various elements that are based on the geological background: six angular hills arranged on flat hills
    Boulders represent the bedrock in the low mountain range along the Weser and its tributaries. The blocks consist of different types of rock that occur in the Weser catchment area: red sandstone, shell limestone, greywacke, slate, granite and porphyry. The design of the forms and the mosaic-like surfaces are also based on this
    geological features of the rocks.

    The Wesertal Model in Petershagen's Ösper Harbor was a walkable landscape model depicting the geological development of the Weser Valley. It consisted of six geometric stone structures arranged on small hills and representing various rock types found along the Weser River.

    In June 2024, the Wesertal Model, which was in dire need of renovation, was demolished because the repair costs were deemed too high. The area was subsequently converted into a green space.

    Although the model no longer exists, the memory of this special project, which vividly introduced visitors to the landscape history of the Weser Valley, remains.
