The shelter of the bus stop "Kirche" (i.e. church) in Wachtberg-Villip has been painted in August 2012 by 30 students of the elementary school of Villip with colorful motives in the style of Keith Haring, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and Otmar Alt. Due to the name of the bus stop and the location directly at the main church of Villip "St. Simon und Judas Thaddäus", the main theme of the motives is "church", which is reflected also as text in the artwork. In addition, the animal motives - especially cats - typical for Otmar Alt, can be found in the artwork. Also the abstract human figures known from Keith Haring are included.
