Wasserturm Dülken, Building in Germany
Wasserturm Dülken is an architectural structure in Viersen standing approximately 55 meters tall, with a cylindrical metal water tank mounted on a sturdy brick shaft. The tower sits northeast of Dülken's town center near a city park, featuring horizontal bands of yellow bricks that contrast with its reddish brick walls and create visual separation between levels.
The sources document no construction date for the tower; it stands 55 m tall and holds 2,000 m³ of water, serving Viersen from its site by the Stadtgarten in Dülken. From 1970 to 2007 the Panoramarestaurant Highlight Windrose occupied the space above the water tank. It reopened in 2009 and was permanently closed as of 2022.
The tower's name is tied to its role in supplying water to Dülken, and its silhouette above the Stadtgarten is a fixed reference point in the town. From 1970 to 2007 the Panoramarestaurant Highlight Windrose occupied the space above the water tank; it reopened in 2009 and is permanently closed as of 2022.
The tower can be easily explored from the nearby park with good walking paths for viewing and photographing the structure from various angles. Since the restaurant is not currently operational, visitors can appreciate the exterior and take time to observe the historic construction details at their leisure.
The tower's tank holds 2,000 cubic metres of water, and from 1970 to 2007 the space above it housed the Panoramarestaurant Highlight Windrose. The restaurant reopened in 2009 but was permanently closed as of 2022, so the viewing level that once drew diners now stands unused.
