Haus auf dem Kopf

The Haus auf dem Kopf is an inverted building in Putbus where the roof rests on the ground while the foundation points skyward. The structure measures approximately 12 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 12 meters tall.

The building opened in July 2010 and required a 35-ton steel skeleton structure to ensure stability. Its construction was an ambitious project that demanded innovative engineering techniques.

The interior displays a complete German household setup with bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and bathroom seen from an unusual angle. Visitors experience how everyday rooms look when viewed from above.

The building is open to visitors year-round with paid admission. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes as you can explore the interior spaces.

Every piece of furniture, from chairs and tables to beds and kitchen appliances, hangs upside down from the ceiling. This completely inverted arrangement creates a peculiar spatial experience that challenges how visitors perceive a living space.
