Wasserturm Genthin, Water tower in Genthin, Germany.

The octagonal concrete structure rises 48 meters above Genthin, featuring eight external pillars and four internal supporting columns for stability.

Built between 1934 and 1935, the tower stored 400 cubic meters of water and served the city's water supply needs until its decommissioning in 1995.

The tower hosts exhibitions, readings, and concerts organized by the Genthin Art Association throughout the year in its interior spaces.

Visitors can climb 225 steps to reach the observation platform, which remains open from May to October with specific visiting hours Tuesday through Sunday.

The structure functions as both a fire observation point with thermal imaging cameras covering a 15-kilometer radius and a civil registry office for marriages.
