Water tower Ratzeburg Hindenburghöhe, Water tower at Hindenburghöhe, Ratzeburg, Germany.

The octagonal tower reaches 38 meters in height, featuring a brick-clad concrete structure with four levels leading to an observation platform.

Built in 1904 and reconstructed in 1935, the tower's water tank capacity increased from 30 to 260 cubic meters before its decommissioning in 1976.

The structure represents early 20th-century municipal engineering, combining functionality with architectural elements of Neo-Romanesque design in its original form.

Located east of Ratzeburg's old town in a wooded area, the tower stands unused since 1976 and requires substantial restoration due to storm damage.

The water tower underwent a complete transformation in 1935 when engineers placed a new tank on top of the existing structure and encased it in concrete.
