As the article says:
“Artist Manfred Laber wanted to honor the 1200th birthday of the town of Wemding in the southern German state of Bavaria.” “The project is an interesting symbol of several intersecting ideas. Can you guarantee future generations will comply with very long-term plans? How will the large concrete bricks hold up to a millennium of weather and beyond?”

Umm, wasn't there something about a "1000-year Reich" that the Germans are a tad bit sensitive about?

Fun fact:
In the background of the picture you can see the Nördlinger Ries.
A giant, ancient meteorite crater, where astronauts go train to study impact craters.
The pyramide is right on the craters ridge.

The site is also, iirc, a notable source of the world's tektite, a glassy debris byproduct of the impact event.
