Architectural Highlight
The 38-meter-high water tower is the architectural highlight of the complex. Its original purpose was to supply the 146-hectare garden with water. This expressionist work of art was built from iron clinker brick according to the designs of architect Walter Helmcke and features sculptural decorations and a copper roof.
The tower was damaged in World War II and restored in the 1980s. Numerous viewpoints allow views of the tower from various locations in the park – you can see it from almost anywhere!
