    A special outfit apartment but actually is just a normal house. Now it's old and do not have good maintenance, inside the grass and plants are very crowded, but still, you can probably take some good pictures here.

    (Translated by Google) Hundertwasser forest spiral The "forest spiral" was built between 1998 and 2000. The revolutionary, colorful and irregularly shaped architecture of the famous Friedensreich Hundertwasser is shown here in all its glory. Man has the impression that a fairy tale castle drawn by a crowd of happy children has become a reality. The two windows of this 105-apartment building used by the golden onion towers are not alike. The natural features of the landscape are shown: for example, the floor layers under the building are reflected in the color design of the facade. The roof of the twelve-storey building, built with recycled concrete, was erected with linden, beech and maple trees. A garden of the garden and an artificial river. Hundertwasser died in February 2000, a few months before the building was completed. (Original) Hundertwasser orman sarmal "Orman spirali" 1998 ile 2000 yılları arasında inşa edilmiştir. Ünlü Friedensreich Hundertwasser'ın devrimci, renkli ve düzensiz şekilli mimarisi burada tüm ihtişamıyla gösterilmektedir. İnsan, mutlu çocuklardan oluşan bir kalabalık tarafından çizilen bir masal kalesinin bir gerçeklik haline geldiği izlenimine sahiptir. Altın soğan kulelerinin kullandığı 105 daireli bu binanın iki penceresi birbirine benzemez. Peyzajın doğal özellikleri gösterilmiştir: örneğin, binanın altında bulunan zemin katmanları cephenin renk tasarımına yansır. Geri dönüştürülmüş beton ile inşa edilen on iki katlı binanın çatısı ıhlamur, kayın ve akçaağaç ağaçları ile dikilmiştir. Bahçenin bir bahçesi ve yapay bir nehir. Hundertwasser, binanın tamamlanmasından birkaç ay önce Şubat 2000'de öldü.

    Worth seeing, but really nothing super special. Just a different building- clone of some in Wienna…

  • 4/5 B. L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Worth seeing ... Hundertwasser has created beautifully compacted urban living space. The house facade could use a new coat of paint after 20 years. But the ceramic columns still shine in the sun ... The home garden is natural or slightly neglected, depending on your point of view. Definitely a paradise for duck families. (Original) Sehenswert... Hundertwasser hat formschön verdichteten städtischen Wohnraum geschaffen. Die Hausfassade könnte nach 20Jahren einen neuen Anstrich gebrauchen. Aber die keramischen Säulen glänzen immer noch in der Sonne... Der Hausgarten ist natürlich oder leicht ungepflegt, je nach Sichtweise. Für Entenfamilien auf jeden Fall ein Paradies.

    Great building to look at incase you are a fan of the hundertwasser style. Sadly can only have a look from outside and not able to get in or go to the garden, but then again it is an apartment complex, so quite happy there was a way to go in between the two buildings.

  • 4/5 Poonam N. 4 years ago on Google
    The design of this building is really cool. I think it would be more appreciated in sunlight rather than in the rain, when I saw it. But it's a pretty sight in the streets of Darmstadt.

    (Translated by Google) The building looks totally out of place at this point and somehow it fits in there. ??‍♀️ You have a very good view from the parking garage opposite. (Original) Das Gebäude wirkt an dieser Stelle total deplatziert und irgendwie passt es doch dorthin. ??‍♀️ Einen sehr guten Blick hat man vom gegenüber liegenden Parkhaus.

    I saw Hundertwasserhaus Waldspirale first time in 2003 and I was already mesmerised. I wish I could live there. We always take guests to see this amazing architecture. It is really worth it.

    (Translated by Google) I always like Hundertwasser houses. I know two more in the Rhein-Main area: Frankfurt Mertonviertel a kindergarten and in Bad Soden near the Quellenpark a big house. (Original) Hundertwasser Häuser gefallen mir immer wieder. Kenne im Rhein-Main-Gebiet noch zwei weitere: Frankfurt Mertonviertel ein Kindergarten und in Bad Soden nahe des Quellenpark ein großes Wohnhaus.

  • 4/5 Chiquita M. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful building, great golden domes, definitely worth a visit, I love Hundertwasser and Gaudí. Great ambience with a little stream of water, a children's playground, a pond with duck/lings, lots of greenery, all apartments are strictly renters only with extremely low turnover, as the quality of living is very high. Easy to reach with public transportation even with the current construction going on, get off bus no 4 or 5 direction Nordbad, at Messeplatz, and you can see it before you get off and it's just around the corner. Now it would benefit from a new coat of paint, perhaps some updating of wiring and a cafe would be nice to enjoy the sight while having coffee, some snacks or a cold 🍺 Leaving, take bus 5 across from close to where you got off towards Schloss or Luisenplatz, if that's where you're headed.

  • 4/5 Michał C. 10 months ago on Google
    An interesting place to see for fans of modern architecture. It is however a residential building, so don't expect any touristic infrastructure.

  • 4/5 T M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's great to experience the Hundertwasser House live, colors are slightly washed out due to atmospheric influence and not as strong as in the pictures, therefore 1 star deduction. (Original) Toll das Hundertwasserhaus live zu erleben, Farben durch atmosphärischen Einfluß schon leicht verwaschen und nicht so kräftig wie auf den Bildern, deshalb 1Stern Abzug.

  • 3/5 Sigrid 4 years ago on Google
    I liked Magdeburg more. Also done by same artist. The thing is, you go there, look at the building and that was it. Unlike in Magdeburg, there are restaurants where you can admire the Architecture. It feels like you are living in fairytale. Small fountain in the middle and the designs were amazing. Here in Darmstadt, people won't be inspired to tell about it because you just stand outside, go around the sides and that was it.

    I lived in Darmstadt for several years and I had a lot of fun in the wolf bar at the very top. It’s sad to hear it’s closed now. You had a beautiful view of the Frankfurt skyline from up there. But the building is so unique, you should definitely check it out
