The Niebüll water tower is a historic structure built in 1908 to supply water to the steam locomotives of the Marschbahn. It is the only remaining structure of its kind along this route and was expanded in 1926 with a larger reinforced concrete head. After operations ceased in 1972, the tower began to decay and was even on the verge of demolition. However, thanks to the commitment of Sven Vogt and the Nordfriesland-Nord district trade association, the tower was saved and extensively renovated. Today it serves as a unique one-room hotel and offers its guests exceptional accommodation on four levels with a panoramic view of the station area.

Nice! Cool, super. Really great!

The water tower was the only remaining structure of its kind along the Marschbahn. Water towers were used to provide a sufficient supply of water for the tanks of steam locomotives in the event of sudden, large withdrawals. The first elevated water tanks were built in Germany in 1840. Niebüll train station was built in 1887. There was a small rectangular water tower, which was replaced in 1908 by our water tower to supply the steam locomotives with water. In 1926, the architecturally attractive half-timbered tower head was replaced by a reinforced concrete head. The tower remained in use until 1972, the end of the steam locomotive era. Due to lack of use, a period of uncertain future and slow structural decay began. When there was even talk that the aging tower was dilapidated and needed to be demolished, it was Niebüll civil engineering contractor Sven Vogt in particular who opposed the demolition plans. He found broad support and numerous supporters for the plan to not only preserve the water tower as one of the last landmarks of the town of Niebüll, but to make it accessible to the public again in a completely renovated state. The topping-out ceremony after the tower roof was erected was in September 2013. Four additional windows, a toilet facility and the relocation of the entrance were installed to make the tower accessible as an observation tower. The tower was renovated to make it more energy efficient and then heated to prevent it from deteriorating. In May 2017, the current owners bought the tower and developed the idea of renting it out as a one-room apartment. https://wasserturm-niebuell.de/wissenswertes/index.html
