Wasserbahnhof, Architectural monument and jetty in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
The Wasserbahnhof features a two-story reinforced concrete structure with a round shape and copper-covered pitched roof on the lock island of Ruhr River.
Built between 1926 and 1927 by architects Pfeifer and Großmann, the building underwent multiple expansions over 25 years to accommodate increasing public demand.
The ground floor contains a passenger waiting area and operational rooms, while the first floor houses a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the water.
The building serves as the main landing point for the White Fleet boats at Alte Schleuse 1, connecting the lower and upper waters of the Ruhr River.
The structure forms an architectural ensemble with other monuments on the lock island, where ships pass through every 10 to 15 minutes.
