Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Life in harmony and in harmony with nature - This was the vision of Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (*15.12.1928, †19.2.2000) and Rogner Bad Blumau is one of the places where he expressed his vision in architecture.
In 1950 Friedrich Stowasser changed his surname to Hundertwasser. 10 years later he changed his first name from Friedrich to Friedensreich. From the early days of his career, Friedensreich Hundertwasser was a painter, who later also became an ecologist and building designer. He collected many ideas, experiences and insights on his numerous travels around the world. Later he used all these experiences when he began to redesign buildings and design new houses. Friedensreich Hundertwasser called himself not an architect but a healer of ailing architecture.
Until his death on 19 Feb. 2000, Friedensreich Hundertwasser spent most of his time in his adopted home country New Zealand where he was buried on his plot of land, in the Garden of the Happy Dead under a tulip tree, in harmony with nature.
