Wasserturm Eutin, Water tower and cultural heritage monument in Eutin, Germany.
Wasserturm Eutin is a brick structure that rises 38 meters tall with a cylindrical form, pointed arch windows, and green glazed roof tiles. The building sits on a polygonal base and is crowned with a distinctive copper conical roof.
The tower was built in 1909 after a major fire in 1907 destroyed the city and made modern water systems necessary. It replaced the seven public wells and 150 private house wells that had previously supplied the town before ceasing operation in 2006.
The tower displays neo-Gothic architectural features with its cylindrical walls, battlements, and copper-covered conical roof that give it a distinctive appearance. These design choices made it a visual landmark for the town that people still recognize today.
The interior is accessible from May through October, with visitors able to climb 156 steps to reach an observation platform. On specific days you can visit the structure, so check ahead for exact opening times and visiting patterns.
The interior holds three floors of galleries displaying contemporary art and photographs of all water towers in Schleswig-Holstein. This surprising art use transforms a historical infrastructure into a modern exhibition space that tells both sides of the city's story.
