Belvedere water tower, Water tower with revolving restaurant on Lousberg hill in Aachen, Germany.

The cylindrical concrete structure rises 35 meters above the ground, featuring a rotating platform that completes a full circle every 56 minutes.

Built between 1956 and 1958, the water tower served the city's infrastructure needs while incorporating modern architectural elements of post-war German construction.

The structure received official recognition as an architectural heritage monument of North Rhine-Westphalia in June 1990, marking its importance in regional architecture.

Visitors can access the observation deck and restaurant at Belvedereallee 5, combining dining experiences with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The tower's rotating restaurant mechanism allows diners to experience a complete 360-degree view of Aachen during a single meal service.
