    Tips

    "Anyone who gets to the Parkinsel via the former chamber lock will see a mighty sandstone tower about 10 meters high on the waterfront to the right of the dam with a clock that strangely enough only has 10 large golden digits on the blue dial. It is not a chronometer, but a measuring device for determining the Rhine water level.

    The building is square in plan and stands on a paved square. In the lower part, the sandstone walls are built vertically on the base, the windows, the door and the corners of the building are emphasized. After a surrounding frieze, the tower tapers. Spacious dials with two hands are attached to all four sides of the cube-shaped head of the tower. The roof is again provided with small ornaments.

    The level mechanism constructed by the Karlsruhe Institute Otto Behm is intact and functional, but no longer official and therefore no longer calibrated. The level tower, built around 1900 according to plans by the royal road and river construction office in Speyer, has become a symbol of the Park Island.

    The tower stands at the southern gate of the former chamber lock, which was built in 1884-94 in connection with the Luitpoldhafen. The recesses for the revolving gates are still clearly visible in the sandstone, as is the outline of the lock chamber."
