Wasserturm Neumünster

The Wasserturm Neumünster stands 48 meters tall with a white-painted exterior and distinctive conical shaft supporting a rounded water reservoir with a capacity of 950 cubic meters.

Built between 1899 and 1900 by the Baltic AG company, this water tower was part of Neumünster's first centralized water and electricity supply system that began operations in June 1900.

The tower features the KELVIN light art installation by Till Nowak, which uses LED lighting that changes color according to outside temperature, from yellow and red in cold weather to violet and blue in warm conditions.

Located on Christianstraße 133, the tower remains fully operational as part of the municipal water system, serving as a pressure regulation station and emergency fire water reserve for the city.

This heritage monument in Schleswig-Holstein has developed a slight lean of 24 millimeters toward the northeast due to structural settling, making it one of Germany's leaning water towers.
