About
Standing proudly in Mannheim’s historic Friedrichsplatz, the Wasserturm is a 60‑metre‑tall landmark that has served the city’s water supply since 1889. Designed by architect Gustav Halmhuber, the tower now offers visitors a breathtaking panoramic city view from its viewing platform, a striking statue of Amphitrite atop its roof, and a tranquil water basin and garden below. Whether strolling through the surrounding Kunsthalle and Festhalle, watching the evening water displays, or admiring the striking blend of functional and ornamental architecture, the Wasserturm provides a memorable glimpse into Mannheim’s civil‑engineering heritage.
