Uelzen: Hundertwasser Station

The Hundertwasser railway station looks like something out of a fairy-tale and is a magical attraction in Uelzen. The old brick station building was converted into a magnificently colourful work of art based on designs by architect and artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser against the backdrop of the EXPO 2000. 

Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian artist who worked as a painter and architect. Hundertwasser is his pseudonym. Friedensreich Hundertwasser was always an opponent of straight line throughout his life, a fact that is clearly demonstrated by the Hundertwasser railway station in Uelzen. All shapes and forms are rounded, full of fantasy and uniqueness.

"The world’s most beautiful railway station" - an expression frequently heard from visitors - is one of the last projects created by the Viennese artist. Today, the building combines art, ecology and modernity in a very unique way. Bushes are not the only things to be found on the roof - it also houses the largest roof-integrated photo-voltaic installation in Lower Saxony and generates environmentally friendly energy from sunlight. 

On the outside, colourful columns and golden globes catch the eye, while fantasy-fuelled mosaics, brilliant colours and the typical rounded corners have a mesmerising effect on the beholder. Light and space create a very special atmosphere that make a visit to this architectural work of art a unique experience.
