Better image of first Goetheanum?
The image in the article does not show the intersecting double dome, a key feature. Is there a better picture available? --EPadmirateur (talk) 13:10, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There is one here.

First Goetheanum
Does anyone know who set the first Goetheanum on fire? And why? If so, please add it to the article! Maarten Ronteltap (talk) 10:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

File:Aerial View - Goetheanum1.jpg to appear as POTD soon

"Hat stand"
What is the huge hat-stand-like structure to one side of the building? Is it a sculpture, or does it serve some practical purpose? Does it have a name? -- The Anome (talk) 19:58, 8 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Answering my own question: found it! It's the boiler house: see File:Dornach - Heizhaus1.jpg -- The Anome (talk) 20:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a heating and electricity plant, designed by Steiner. See this and that for more info and photos. So far as I know no one has tried to hang hats on it. Cl ea n Co py talk 20:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Performance halls and seating
The article seems to contradict itself. In an early paragraph, it says there are two performance halls seating 1500 people each. In a later paragraph, it says there is one performance hall seating 1000. Neither statement has sources. I did a quick search without finding any.
