Architect Dr. Manfred Fuchsbichler, Voitsberg
On the initiative of Monsignore Friedrich Zeck, Hundertwasser volunteered to redesign the Church of St. Barbara in Bärnbach (without honorarium or reimbursement). His condition for doing so - that the surroundings of the church belonging to the city be integrated in the planning - was accepted by the city council under Mayor Konrad Bergmann. With the design of twelve arch gateways representing all the major religions in the world, Hundertwasser made a gesture to ecumenism, tolerance and community. With the redesign of the church and in cooperation with the architect Manfred Fuchsbichler, Hundertwasser created a remarkable landmark in the midst of an industrial area. For the design of the interior, artists from the region were given commissions. Hundertwasser designed the aureole behind the altar, the floor of the presbytery and the spiral window behind the baptismal font.
