Steinbergen Strata, 2000
Steinbergen Strata, Steinbergen, Germany
Steinbergen, near Hanover, Germany
The German place Steinbergen derives its name from the German words for stone and hill. Part of the hill is in the process of being quarried; the rest is a nature reserve where there is a small abandoned overgrown quarry. It was decided to re-link the tilted strata of hard limestone that had been quarried out, at the same time creating a habitat for all the various-sized creatures that were re-inhabiting the quarry. The stones on top will catch a blanket of leaves over time.
