    Beautifully designed space around the "center of the world". The granite stone, which was erected on the occasion of the church consecration in 1987, is intended to remind that Hohenbuch residents were entrusted with the lubrication of the earth's axis from time immemorial "so that it does not squeak and egg".

    Hiking

    The "center of the world" is in Hohenbuch. The granite stone, which was erected for the 1987 church fair, is intended to remind people that Hohenbuch's residents have always been entrusted with lubricating the earth's axis "so that it doesn't squeak and wobble". The space around the stone was designed very nicely. Hikers will find seating and a fountain here.

    At this grease nipple is
    lubricated the Earth's axis every day.


    All people in our area
    know that from childhood,
    only the world does not want to believe it (yet)!


    Donations in the form of grease are always welcome.
    The consumption is enormous.
    You do not want the earth's axis squealing, right?
