Gazing up at these concrete giants, one might wonder about their purpose. The Betonturbinen stand as a testament to artistic vision and engineering prowess.

Freiburg im Breisgau, a city known for its blend of history and innovation, provides the perfect backdrop for Rißler’s unique work. Freiburg im Breisgau itself has a rich history.
