Located directly on the main road and impossible to miss. A small cycle/footpath runs behind the tower.

Quiet cycle path through the city...

Very beautifully converted water tower.

Never completed water tower in Cologne-Worringen; now a private house

Just a few meters from the Cologne Worringen S-Bahn station stands the first photo opportunity: The Cologne Trail guidebook provides the explanation for this unusual brick building: the "Intze Tower" was planned at the beginning of the last century as the base for a water tower for a waterworks, which was never completed. Today it is a listed residential building. From here it's not far to what is perhaps the most beautiful nature reserve within Cologne's city limits, the Worringer Bruch. 👍

The Worringen water tower was built between 1906 and 1908 on behalf of the Worringen mayor's office and was originally 18m high. Since the official seat had recently been moved from Fühlingen back to Worringen, it can be assumed that the construction was an attempt to strengthen Worringen as an independent municipality. The builder went bankrupt, so the tower was never put into operation. In 1922, Worringen was incorporated into Cologne.

The path is located in a swampy landscape and is not always passable after rainfall.

The area was placed under “nature protection” and closed. You can now only recognize a number of dams where anglers, basket makers and wood collectors once came and went, only on ground maps https://t1p.de/a9ej3 and on rusty prohibition signs. Without people, blackberries, nettles and ground-nesting birds spread there. Beautiful artificial natural paradise.
