Wasserturm Bad Schwartau

The 34-meter-high structure features red brick walls that narrow towards the top, decorated with round-arched windows and a conical roof with four dormers.

Built in 1910, the water tower initially supplied 220 households, expanding to 900 connections by 1933 as Bad Schwartau developed into a health resort town.

The Renaissance Revival architecture water tower stands as a protected monument under the Schleswig-Holstein Heritage Conservation Act, representing early 20th-century engineering achievements.

Located near the A1 motorway at coordinates 53.9076, 10.6875, the tower ceased water operations in 1974 and now functions as an archive for Schwartauer Werke.

The water tank, containing 200 cubic meters, operated without an overflow pipe, instead utilizing two pipes to connect directly to the water network.
