Muellverbrennungsanlage Explanation: It looks to me there is a spelling mistake in your text. If it is indeed 'Muellverbrennungsanlage', it would be - incinerator; incinerating plant hope it helps |

incinerator Explanation: That looks like a typographical error - should be Müllverbrennungsanlage - garbage incinerator. Several years ago, I worked on a translation project in which Vienna's garbage incinerator figured rather prominently. HTH |

garbage compressor, garbage compression plant Explanation: If this is not a typo, then it must mean garbage compressor or the corresponding plant. These things do exist, as seen on Star Wars and our local truck, and they had over 8000 hits on a search engine. This would be a perfect play on the well-known incinerator, and imply that to get the buildings you compress garbage into the walls, wings, etc. of the buildings. I cannot see why an incinerator would have anything to do with the building, but the compressed idiom flies - if somewhat harshly. Nancy Northern lights search |

Garbage incineration plant Explanation: Muellverbrennungsanlage = Garbage incineration plant (Ernst Woerterbuch der Industriellen Technik) And Friedrich Hundertwasser indeed supplied the design for this plant. For pictures of what is probably the nicest looking plant of this kind see: http://www.art2u.com/news/hundertwasser.html HTH Chris |

(waste) incineration facility Explanation: This is obviously merely a typographical error - the German should read "Müllverbrennungsanlage." |
