The Mühleturm shines in childlike colourful splendour.

Over a period of more than two months, Chur artist Fabian "Bane" Florin and his team created Switzerland's largest mural at the Mühleturm in Chur. The artwork was unveiled at the beginning of November 2018 and shows two hands revealing a Grisons mountain crystal at a height of almost 40 metres.

The idea behind the Mühleturm project; every few years, Switzerland's largest street art painting should shine with a new subject. So after three years, it was time to replace the crystal that had been emblazoned on the Mühleturm in Chur since 2018 with a new motif. This was selected by the city of Chur and Bane as part of a school competition. All classes of the city school in Chur were eligible to participate. The pupils gave free rein to their creativity in designing a small Mühleturm handicraft sheet. Anything that was fun was allowed: gluing, handicrafts, painting, drawing, etc. In this way, many great and beautiful ideas were created by children's hands on more than 1000 small paper mill towers.

Around 1000 suggestions for a new motif were submitted, all drawn on littlepaper mill towers.A jury consisting of city president Urs Marti, Bane, Helena Mettler, head of the city's cultural department, and Corina Peterelli, representing the city school, chose the winning image from the proposals submitted. It was not easy for the jury to choose the winner. Many great proposals were submitted and it has been shown that there are a lot of talented young artists.
