Viktor Schauberger
(1885 – 1958)

"People may say I am crazy. Perhaps they are right. In this case, it is not so much important if there is one fool more or less in the world.

But in case that I am right and science is wrong, Lord, have mercy on mankind.”

The Austrian Viktor Schauberger was a natural scientist and developer. The forester had observed for decades the nature in order to find out how growth, life and movement arises.

He took the occuring processes in the nature as examples for modern technical applications. “To understand and to copy nature” is one sentence, which has not been marked by anybody else than Viktor Schauberger. Water was his central element on which he meditated a lot. He did not only regard it as the carrier of all life, but also of the whole consciousness of the world.

Academically and technically educated contemporaries of Schauberger criticised his unscientific behaviour.

Unperturbed by this, he warned already at the beginning of the 20th century about the consequences of an intensive water management, forestry and agriculture, about atomic energy, deforestation and river channelization. Convinced of the correctness of his understandings, he worked out remarkable alternatives to this.

For a short time, Schauberger enjoyed a good reputation in important government circles because of the complete success of the realised projects.

In the 1950s however people had been more enthusiastic for chemical fertilizers and plant sprays. By this means, farmers increased crops within a very short period of time. But they were blind to see that they needed more chemistry every year in order to keep up the increase.

Today, the negative results on man and nature of such highly praised innovations are to be seen everywhere.

The progressive thinker Viktor Schauberger warned already at the beginning of the 20th century about these devastating consequences and he is therefore more actual than ever. His meditative and lateral way of thinking fills always more people with enthusiasm. They spread the philosophy and the inventions of Viktor Schauberger worldwide.

The main emphasis of the entrepreneurial activity of Kupfer-Anton lies on gardening and agricultural tools made of copper. We want to develop these tools further and to win interested nature lovers with information and experience reports.
