The Hundertwasser Tower is part of the well-known Fernwärme Wien-Anlage Spittelau district heating plant. The originally functional industrial complex was artistically redesigned in the 1980s by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He transformed the chimney and the surrounding buildings into a colorful landmark with irregular lines, vibrant facades, playful shapes, and a golden sphere at the top. The Hundertwasser Tower exemplifies Hundertwasser's idea of combining art, nature, and technology and is considered today one of Vienna's most distinctive and unusual buildings.

The tower is 126 meters high and immediately stands out due to the huge golden sphere on its shaft. It is not just decoration, but houses highly efficient flue gas cleaning systems.
