Hundertwasser's Green Citadel of Magdeburg

A nice building complex with a couple of restaurants inside. There are more than two entrances and they sell crazy good ice cream 🙂

A truly unique architectural gem in Magdeburg, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and completed in 2005, shortly after his death. The building breaks away from conventional architecture with its irregular forms and rooftop gardens. While visually striking, the interior spaces—especially the shops and hotel—could benefit from more curated content that reflects Hundertwasser’s philosophy. In many ways, it feels like a cousin to Gaudí’s works in Barcelona, though on a much smaller and more commercial scale.

Special architecture - on the fridge magnets found in souvenir shops. Possible to go around and into the courtyard.

We took the tour (which was almost hourly during the weekend) which was surprisingly interesting. We learned a lot of cool and interesting facts about Hundertwasser and got to explore the different rooftop areas of the building. The Japanese restaurant on the ground floor is also worth a stop :)

Such interesting architecture, not far away from the Cathedral. Plenty of restaurants, shops, vendors to try out. Beautiful Christmas decoration

A beautiful architectural masterpiece by Hundertwasser. Fascinating, unique, something you have to see. Variety of shapes. Use the tour with a guide to get complete information. Nice cafe and shops.

You can take an RB train from Berlin to get there. The colours and shapes add to the charm, and there are great views of Magdeburg and the cathedral. Be sure to enjoy a cake in the café.

Extra-ordinary structure. The shapes, colors are outstanding. I think it's unique and eco-friendly. This non-linear, naturally-curved building was created by an Austrian designer. The ground floor has a variety of cafes and eateries. That's certainly the finest thing to see in Magdeburg!
