Beckerturm St. Ingbert, Industrial heritage tower in St. Ingbert, Germany.
Beckerturm St. Ingbert is a concrete structure rising 42 meters across nine floors, originally designed as part of a brewery complex. Today the building functions as part of an innovation park and houses companies and artist studios within its spaces.
The concrete tower was built between 1925 and 1931 under architect Hans Herkommer as a key part of the Becker Brothers Brewery enterprise. After brewing operations ceased, the building was repurposed and now contributes to the city's economic and cultural development.
The tower now serves as a space for regional artists who work in studios and display their creations throughout the year. This use has transformed the industrial structure into a gathering place for creative activity in the community.
The building is located at Kaiserstraße 170-174 in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. Visitor access to individual floors depends on current uses and activities, so checking ahead about open hours is recommended before planning your visit.
The 55-metre chimney beside the tower was long mistaken for the Beckerturm itself. It was blown up on 27 August 2013, although the city council had voted against demolition on 21 May 2013; falling stones made it unsafe and renovation was estimated at around 500,000 euros.
