Design

In 2013, the Portuguese Pedro Cabrita Reis painted part of the south wall with orange-red and white concrete paint and attached a 10-meter-high light stick to the station. A comparable color was also applied to the neighboring Donaustadtbrücke station . According to the artist's self-assessment, this represents " an ideal crossing of the Danube, as it were a second, artistic bridge ".
