Fernwärmewerk Spittelau - Vienna visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Fernwärmewerk Spittelau' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Wien.

The Spittelau Waste Incineration Plant was designed by Friedensreich Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser, who agreed to do the work on the condition that the latest and cleanest processes were used at the plant. The design is reminiscent of work by Gaudi, with uneven surfaces and a more organic feel than usual for a building of this nature.

Spittelau has now become a well known landmark in Vienna, not least for the chimney of the plant which is immediately recognizable for the bright adornments near the top like a series of rings. The rest of the building is also covered with mosaics and unusual forms probably making Spittelau the most brightly coloured waste disposal plant in the world.

This panorama was taken from the footpath on the opposite side of the Danube Canal that passes Spittelau on the way to the center of Vienna.
