Mannheim's landmark right in the center. From there, there is a "shopping tour" in the directly opposite "planks" with many street cafes and restaurants. Other destinations include various museums, churches, the historic castle or the rose garden, or the beautiful Luisenpark not far away with a ride on the Gondoletta on the water, which would be worth a day trip or the more distant Herzogenriedpark. Directly under the water tower is a large parking garage, so that you can start its sightseeing tour from there.

The water tower is and remains DAS landmark of the city of Mannheim. In addition to the castle and the red town hall, the water tower is one of the visual highlights, adorned by an attractive park with water features at Friedrichsplatz. Anyone who was not here did not see Mannheim.

Friedrichsplatz is in the east of the city centre. At its center is Mannheim's landmark, the 60 meter high water tower. It was built in 1889 in neo-baroque style and is crowned by a 3.50 meter tall statue of Amphitrite. The square around it was designed by Bruno Schmitz until 1903 with fountains, water features, arcades and green areas in Art Nouveau style. The trick fountains are illuminated for an hour after dark in summer. In the pre-Christmas period, a Christmas market takes place around the water tower and the Triton fountain. The eastern semicircle of Friedrichsplatz is bordered by arcaded houses with red sandstone facades. Art and festival halls were built in the north-south axis of the water tower. The Kunsthalle – built by Hermann Billing in 1907 and with an extension in 1983 – corresponds with its red sandstone to the existing buildings on Friedrichsplatz. The rose garden - whose name is derived from an old name of the winner - was opened in 1903 as a festival hall and at that time housed the largest hall in Germany with the Nibelungensaal. Today there is a congress and conference center. In addition to the water tower at Friedrichsplatz, there are almost 20 other historic water towers in Mannheim.
