The Bach equation, i.e., the vacuum field equation following from the Lagrangian L=C_{ijkl}C^{ijkl}, will be completely solved for the case that the metric is conformally related to the cartesian product of two 2-spaces; this covers the spherically and the plane symmetric space-times as special subcases. Contrary to other approaches, we make a covariant 2+2-decomposition of the field equation, and so we are able to apply results from 2-dimensional gravity. Finally, some cosmological solutions will be presented and discussed.
