Original kindergarten in the form of a huge cat
The unusual kindergarten Die Katze is located in Wolfartsweier, a district of the German city of Karlsruhe. The giant white cat building was designed by architect Ayla-Suzan Yöndel and designer Tomi Ungerer. The extraordinary design made it possible to diversify children's everyday life and now kids go to kindergarten with pleasure.

1. The completed building looks like a cat preparing to jump. Pointed ears, wide-open eyes-windows and a tail that acts as a children's slide.
2. Kindergarten opened in 2002. It is attended by about 100 children aged 3 to 7 years.
3. From the inside, the cat building is no different from an ordinary kindergarten: in the “paws” there are playgrounds, in the “belly” there is a kitchen, a dining room, a staircase, a dressing room and a study room.
4. On the second floor, in the “head”, there is a large hall, where during the day it is always light thanks to large round windows-eyes.
5. Rear view. A cat's tail that acts as a slide.
