Hundertwasser Museum in Uelzen: Art for everyone from August experienced!

In Uelzen, a new architecture museum is built in honor of the famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The museum has the goal of mapping the artist's work and establishing itself as a national attraction. The official starting signal for the anniversary year is February 22, which is reminiscent of an air raid on the Uelzen train station 80 years ago. Interestingly, prisoners of the Neuengamme concentration camp were used to remove the damage after this air raid.

Hundertwasser himself expressed the desire to place an olive tree in the entrance area of ​​the train station. Unfortunately, the donated specimen entered into, which is why a new concept was developed, which includes a plant bucket with solar lighting to permanently anchor the olive. The opening of the museum is planned for August of this year, since until then a detour via Uelzen is planned for the general renovation of the Berlin - Hamburg route.

planned exhibitions and projects

For the exhibition, 40 architectural projects are intended on BILD text boards, whereby not all projects in the train station itself will find space. Talks with the train about the use of outdoor areas are already underway. The aim is to bring international works such as the Hundertwasser House in Vienna and a sewage treatment plant in Osaka travelers and those interested in art.

It is worth noting that Hundertwasser designed the train station on the occasion of the Expo 2000, but the completion was only completed after the world exhibition. The visionary died in the spring before the inauguration of the redesigned train station. Raimund Nowak, Chairman of the Hundertwasser Bahnhof association, has the project to further spread the idea of ​​photovoltaic systems at train stations. Photovoltaic systems were already installed in Uelzen in 1997, which is in the sense of the ideas of 100 water. In addition, the railway has launched a program for promoting photovoltaic systems.
