Forty-six huts, ten chapels, eight bell towers, a grotto and a church stand in Heinrich Maucher's forest. The small and lanky man has built everything alone and mainly with hammer, nail and saw over the past 35 years. The driving force behind it was his strong Christian faith and according to Maucher: "the will of God." I meet Heinrich on a cold November morning. Individual rays of sunlight make their way through the dense treetops disappearing in the fog and meet Heinrich below, who is barefoot and busy debarking young tree trunks. The steady scraping of his knife, the splashing of a spring, and soft birdsong are the only sounds to be heard. He notices me only after several attempts to make contact, says briefly "grüß Gott" and becomes engrossed in his work again. I wait until he takes a break. Heinrich rarely speaks in complete sentences, he has difficulty articulating and his dialect makes it difficult to understand him. He tells me about his visions and ideas, about how he came to this life, and wants to know from me how I stand on faith. After this first encounter, he disappears into his hut to pray. Two hours later I discover him again among the huts and trees. The little man runs back and forth incessantly, transporting wood from here to there. Later in the day, he is working on a fence along the forest path that leads to his "place of grace." He pulls old stakes out of the ground, scorches new ones, and attaches the peeled logs to them. I offer him my help as I see the 80-year-old struggling with a stake that is particularly deep in the ground. He gratefully accepts my offer. He tells me about his fears concerning our society, money and the system. For a moment, he lets himself in for the camera. Then he goes off again to fetch new wood from the other end of his forest. Heinrich Maucher is found dead two weeks after this encounter. He lies peacefully with a rosary on his chest in his forest hut, between heaven and earth.
