Judentempel Observation Tower at Stadtwaldsee

Gabriel von Seidl provided the designs for the observation tower on the hill at the Kleiner Stadtwaldsee in the Bürgerpark in Bremen and had a tower-like pavilion built with a colonnade, behind the oak door of which a staircase led to the upper platform. From the fall of 1909, the building served as a vantage point and rain shelter, but was immediately closed again until the summer of 1910, as the view of the newly designed park was still considered too unattractive. For reasons that are not known, the term “Jewish Temple” became commonplace soon after its completion.

Every time I visit the city park, I definitely have to stop by this little tower. Very nicely located above a lake.

A place to relax.
