Wachau Routes in the Waiting Room at Spitz Railway Station

While waiting for the Wachau Railway, visitors to the railway station in Spitz an der Donau can now dive into the results of Wachau Routes. Iris Andraschek has created a presentation concept for the waiting room of the recently renovated station building dating from 1908 that echoes the colour of the wooden veranda. On display are artistic and landscape architectural explorations of the Wachau railway. As part of the ‘Railway Studies’ exhibition, they were presented in October 2024 in the former water tower at Spitz an der Donau railway station. The panels are now on display in the waiting room. They focus on how the railway line cuts through the towns and villages as well as the engineering and protective structures required for the route and traffic safety. The speech bubbles are part of a wall installation and give plants a voice in the exhibition. The plants, which have settled along the tracks, entered into a dialogue about the history, present and future of the railway in the exhibition as galvanised metal creatures. They can be seen in photos in the waiting room.
