Room of Silence

Room of Silence

The Room of Silence, formerly an abandoned goat stable, has been transformed with the support of the local community into a gathering space that symbolically embodies Korbach’s commitment to green energy transformation. Instead of repairing the leaky roof, a ring anchor made from recycled concrete was installed atop the aging structure, leaving the interior open to the sky.
