Magdeburg - Biggest Hundertwasser House

In Magdeburg (Sachsen-Anhalt) is the biggest and most beautiful building designed by architect and artist Friedenreich Hundertwasser. This artwork is called "The Green Citadel"  His unique and artistic architecture is simply beautiful and enchanting. His philosophy to include nature and live in harmony is seen in the unusual artwork in Magdeburg. Hundertwasser said; " I will not build homes by which nature and human's soul will suffer."

See also my previous post about Hundertwasserschule in Lutherstadt.

The Green Citadel in Madgeburg was finished in 2005. You can find flats, shops, theater  restaurants  a hotel, cafes and even a kindergarten housed in the huge building. It's a place to live, work, shop and relax AND for sure worthwhile to see.












Even the bathrooms are designed beautifully - only very expensive. A visit cost you 1 Euro:






The Shop is worthwhile to see. Many different beautiful artistic items are on display. In the shop you can register for a guided tour. But it's only available in German language.

  1. Such a colorful place and i love the architect's principle of not hurting the nature and man on building the buildings. Mosaics are cool :)
