Wasserturm Genthin, Water tower in Genthin, Germany.

Wasserturm Genthin is an octagonal concrete structure rising 48 meters above the city, supported by eight external pillars and four internal columns that distribute the weight evenly. The building once stored 400 cubic meters of water to serve the city's water supply system.

Built in 1934/35 under site supervision of city director Tingelhoff, the tower supplied Genthin's drinking water. Its eight outer pillars carried eight 3.20-metre figures by sculptor Bernhard Schmitt; four depicted a soldier, a Reich Labour Service member, an SS man and an SA man, and were removed after 1945. The remaining four show a worker, a woman, a farmer and an engineer. Water use ended in 1995.

Since 1995 the tower has no longer supplied drinking water, and it now hosts the annual "Spuk im Turm" festival, when volunteer ghosts hide in the building and try to scare visitors heading for the observation platform. A café also operated inside the tower for a time.

The observation platform is reached by 232 steps, and the tower and platform remain open to the public even though water storage ended in 1995. Renovation work that began in spring 2022 may affect access, so check locally before climbing.

Four of the eight 3.20-metre figures that decorated the outer pillars survive: a worker, a woman, a farmer and an engineer. The soldier, Reich Labour Service member, SS and SA figures, along with a bowl used for solstice celebrations on the platform, were removed after 1945.
