The Barther Wasserturm is a 35-meter-high, listed landmark from 1926, which shapes the city's silhouette through its architectural similarity to a city gate or church tower. (stadt-barth.de/barth-lexikon/detailansicht/wasserturm.html), (komoot.com/de-de/highlight/806492)

We are located in Sundische Straße at the water tower built in 1926. The water tower is strongly reminiscent of Dammtor, one of the last city gates of the town of Barth. Originally, there were two service apartments in the water tower. During construction, the city fathers at the time realized that they had significantly exceeded the planned construction costs. In order to manage financially, it was decided that, apart from the sugar factory, no one else was allowed to draw water from their own wells from now on.
