This is being built in the town of Wemding which celebrated its 1,200 year anniversary in 1993. The idea was to build something that would take 1,200 years to complete in order to emphasize how long the town has been in existence. People saying its stupid or going to be abandoned are forgetting the town itself has existed for longer.
While the town is that old I promise you that almost nothing looks like it was 1200 years ago. Maybe they can hold on that tradition 100 years but at some point the people won’t bother. Need more space or don’t see the point of it anymore
That’s a nice thought but will the town actually still exist if the population doesn’t? Humans have maybe 120 years left, there’s zero chance of humans finishing this pyramid.
Although if a weird little art installation in a small German town is what gets capitalism to end, I’m all for it.

One is a town and the other thing is random concrete blocks. Yeah, they are equally useful

Not stupid, but I am curious if the type of concrete being used will last 1200 years.
