Inca in the Hundertwasser-Bahnhof

Inca as a tourist in front of the station Hunderwasser

Today Inca had to leave again tapping into the blood. Every six weeks, it will be my endocrinologist, reviewed the hormone levels. Luckily I have not always for this procedure, the drive more than 100 kilometers to Hildesheim, but can have done by taking blood for my family doctor in Uelzen. The fax then the values that she got from the lab to Hildesheim.
Thus, the visit to my GP be rewarded, I can make at the same occasion a health check (Measuring auscultation, blood pressure, abdominal scan, ECG, etc.). Also, a urine sample wanted the doctor to me. And in the end was one extra tube filled with blood so that the laboratory has available enough to find the hormone levels and liver function tests and even check some other values. Except for the measurements from the lab, which I take several Days can query, everything was fine.

Before the appointment with my doctor I had an appointment with my dentist, who has his practice in the same house, just one floor up. I need that is urgent need for new teeth. I like the old me did not look in the mirror, since two small corners are chipped. After a detailed consultation and extensive view of the previously taken x-rays I have summarily decided, for cosmetic reasons, I buy up to four new pearly whites. Left and right of the front incisors is anyway always already a crown, and it looks better if it were then all four crowns are of a piece. However, before my dentist is competent to act, I have to wait and see on the bill of costs of health insurance.
This is the day not only for doctor visits, Marion and I have connected the drive to Uelzen with a little sightseeing program. We must admit our shame that we did it in the past ten years, never to visit the largest (and perhaps the only) attraction of the city of Uelzen: for the World Expo 2000 completed Hundertwasser Bahnhof . Thousands of Chinese, Japanese and Americans have a picture of this building already, just not us, although we live only 38 miles from Uelzen away.

A station, as colorful as a fantastic world of fairy tales

That is it an old station would be rehabilitated, at least it was clear, as a journalist in a national daily newspaper under the heading "fog, ghost, hunger and thirst "in trenchant words their experiences on a December evening in the Uelzen Station, described the it as the" gateway to hell felt ". Since Uelzen had planned for the Expo 2000 in any case a large Hundertwasser exhibition, it was natural to link this issue with the station renovation. Living in New Zealand Viennese artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser built a model in which the station was then transformed. His vision: He wanted to create a " station as colorful as a fantastic world of fairy tales" , and that he succeeded.

This makes the wait for the train fun.

is typical of Hundertwasser the prohibition of the straight line, which occur in nature and is therefore of ungodly. The craftsmen were therefore advised to avoid all the straight lines and round every corner - it had a valid construction standards in part suspended be. The result is a building that is developing in its colors and forms its own charm. sprouting on the roofs of shrubs, colorful columns and golden balls to turn heads. Inside, charming imaginative mosaics, iridescent colors and also the typical, rounded corners. Even the restrooms are decorated in the Hundertwasser style, but unfortunately for a visit there requires a euro, and since we do not have to go to the bathroom, do but look only just satisfied, we are with a view from the outside over the shoulder of the toilet woman .
Unfortunately, this Monday morning, the café in the station closed. Otherwise we would certainly be a little longer in this fabulous building remained.
tomorrow!
