Der Moron-Turm: Eine zündende Idee

Ursprünglich war das Projekt eines Aussichtsturms auf dem Moron einem Notstand entsprungen: Der Baumeister-Verband hatte nach einer Möglichkeit gesucht, auf den Maurer-Beruf aufmerksam zu machen, wurde es doch immer schwieriger, den nötigen Nachwuchs zu rekrutieren. Es gelang, den Tessiner Star-Architekten Mario Botta als Projektverfasser zu gewinnen. Der im Juli 2004 eingeweihte, aus 600 Jura-Kalkstein-Elementen errichtete Aussichtsturm erinnert an die Maurer-Lehrlinge aus der ganzen Schweiz, die sich in 65'000 Stunden dauernder Fronarbeit am Turmbau beteiligt hatten. Über 209 Treppenstufen erreicht man die Aussichtsplattform, von wo aus die Rundsicht von den Vogesen bis zum Alpenkranz reicht. Bei klarem Wetter ist selbst die Spitze des Strassburger Münsters sichtbar.
