Overview
- Designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the building rejects right angles and features rooftop meadows, golden spheres, colorful columns, and window trees.
- It functions as a compact urban hub with apartments, ground-floor shops, a kindergarten, a hotel, a theater, a registry office branch, and a long-running bookstore.
- Set at Domplatz between the Baroque Landtag facade and the modern Norddeutsche Landesbank, it draws steady interest from tourists and locals.
- Covering 4,500 square meters—about three times the size of Hundertwasserhaus Wien—the site relies on two caretakers, a technical manager, and a gardener, with manual sweeping and scythe work required on uneven paths and lawns.
- Residents adapt to curved walls and irregular layouts that shape furnishing choices, while the greenery attracts wildlife including birds, voles, rabbits, a fox, and a recently trapped marten.
