Architecture sights in Lutherstadt Wittenberg

  1. Hundertwasser School

    True modernity is embodied in Wittenberg’s crazy Martin Luther Gymnasium, usually called the Hundertwasser School. Viennese artist and architect Freidenreichs Hundertwasser remodelled the old East German concrete blocks into one of his signature buildings, with ecological materials, brightly coloured elements, touches of gold, mosque-like cupolas and rooftop vegetation. It’s possible to view the exterior any time; the tours are led by school kids and it’s advisable to call ahead because four participants are needed before they start.
