    Tips

    April 16, 2019

    In 1994, 200 volunteers from THW and the fire brigade erected mighty granite pillars in two days, using only Stone Age tools, and placed a cover stone on the model in Amesbury (Stonehenge). He alone weighs more than 40 tons. Complicated, lifting such a weight only by muscle power so many meters! Unlike the English Stone Age people, however, the Kulzer did not have to drag their granite blocks hundreds of kilometers, but instead they were given "free construction site". For 25 years, the Upper Palatinate is now richer by this useless, but beautiful stone sculpture.
