First of all, we would like to thank you for your extremely interesting comments and now share our opinion. As a nature- and culture-friendly community, we have come to the conclusion that the term "desertification" is, in our opinion, a mere exaggeration and that you, dear Mr. Laurenz, have merely used it as a vague umbrella term for the precious, fertile agricultural soil of the Weinviertel. Consider this fountain in this little corner of Eden, but as a timeless testament to the important agricultural advances that have taken place in northern Lower Austria in recent decades. Technical advances in these sectors have revolutionized agriculture and forestry and made life in the countryside easier. Let us leave these primitive times behind us, and with them this spring, which serves as a monument to the past, and look forward with joy to a future full of luxury and abundance.

The local news district newspapers once described the exotic monument with the words: "No one understands it, but many like it." It's quite an eye-catcher!
