The Otto-Moericke tower, Water tower in Allmannsdorf, Constance, Germany
The Otto-Moericke Tower reaches 40 meters high and features seven residential floors with continuous rows of windows around its cylindrical structure.
Built in 1929 as a reinforced concrete structure, the tower replaced a wooden observation point and functioned as both a water reservoir and youth hostel.
The tower incorporates architectural elements designed by Constance master builder Paul Jordan, reflecting the regional construction methods of the early 20th century.
The youth hostel contains 177 beds across 44 rooms, with twenty rooms located inside the tower structure, each including private bathroom facilities.
The tower's observation platform, situated above a 300-cubic-meter water tank, offers views across Lake Constance through its polygonal window arrangement.
