Wasserturm Varel, Water tower in Varel, Germany
The 50.5-meter-tall structure features an octagonal design with copper-covered roof and brick walls punctuated by elongated window strips in its upper section.
Construction of the water tower began in 1913 when Varel transitioned from using decentralized shallow wells to establishing a centralized water supply system.
The observation platform at 41.5 meters provides views of the Jadebusen bay and surrounding Frisian communities, making it a central landmark of Varel.
Visitors can access the tower from April through October between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and from November through March between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The tower maintains its original function, supplying drinking water through 62 kilometers of pipelines while connecting to approximately 3,630 household water connections.
