Uhrenturm Nähmaschinenwerk

The Uhrenturm Nähmaschinenwerk is a tower building from the sewing machine factory complex in Wittenberge, equipped with four large illuminated clocks on each side. The structure originally served as a water tank for the Singer manufacturing facility.

The tower was built between 1928 and 1929 as a water storage facility for the Singer sewing machine factory. After industrial production ended, it was preserved and eventually opened to display exhibitions about local manufacturing history.

This tower stands as a symbol of Wittenberge's days as an industrial manufacturing hub, showing how important sewing machine production was to the entire region. The exhibition levels tell the story of workers who labored here and how the factory shaped community life.

Climbing to the top involves ascending a flight of stairs to reach viewing platforms with panoramic views across the city. The tower is located in the city center and can be easily reached on foot from most starting points.

The clock faces can be spotted from far away across the landscape, especially at night when they are illuminated, and are controlled by radio signals from a federal institute in Braunschweig. This connection to a nationwide timekeeping network is one of the tower's most overlooked features.
