A elementary busstop at the beginning of the Großwalsertal, a cross point for visitors of the valley and for transit passengers. The 2 rammed earth walls were pre-fabricated and are embedded in a steel sleeve, developing, together with the overhead canopy, a spatial situation. The walls seemingly hover above the plane, elevated from the ground through 3 casing pipes. On both sides of the wall the inscriptions of Thüringen are chiseled into the wall like a relief.
