The former water tower stands on the highest point in Leonberg. The water and observation tower was built in 1928. The Leonberg landmark retained its function as a high-level water tank until 1982. After 123 steps you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Strohgäu (Ditzingen, Korntal, Weilimdorf, ...) at a height of 506m. The tower is almost always easy to see in the Strohgäu, so you can use it there as a point of orientation.

Please check the opening times on the website of the city of Leonberg. From May to October it is usually open on Sundays and public holidays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The tower on the 480.60 m high Engelberg is 34.70 m high and 7.90 m in diameter. The now empty water tank on the fourth floor has a capacity of 72 m³. 123 steps lead up to the viewing platform on the fifth and top floor.

From May to October the tower can be visited free of charge on every Sunday and public holiday.

Unfortunately, Leonberg's landmark is only open on Sundays and public holidays from May 1st to October 31st, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which is a real shame! ☹️ You can also visit outside of these hours. If you know in advance, you should call the number provided in the photo.
