    The water tower was built in 1934 on the edge of the village of Hohenkirchen. Architect was Fritz Höger. He had the water storage built in clinker construction. Inside, the tower is divided into 4 floors. In the fourth is the 180sqm water tank. An observation deck crowns the tower. Currently (July 2016) the tower is for sale !!! A visit or the ascent to the platform is not possible. Nevertheless, the trip is worthwhile, because the architecture is very unusual.

    Attractions Architectural monument of North German brick expressionism.
    Planned in 1934 after an architect competition by Fritz Höger, the water tower was supposed to improve the quality and quantity of drinking water in the wider surrounding area. In particular, the naval plant z .. in Schillig had to be adequately supplied. For the National Socialists, this was also a suitable propaganda tool ("memorial of our people by the sea") to combat unemployment and water shortages for many farms (such as dairies).
