Water Tower

Removed from Unnamed collection

Without a doubt, the Wasserturm, Mannheim's iconic water tower, is the beloved landmark for all Mannheimers. It's no surprise it often features in wedding and holiday photos. Romantic and dreamy, this masterpiece stands proudly in one of Europe's most stunning Art Nouveau settings. The fountains, promenades, and arcades create a lively hub for both locals and visitors. For the best view of the water tower, grab a seat at one of the charming cafés on Friedrichsplatz. Sitting beneath the arcades with a steaming cup of coffee will transport you straight to the Mediterranean.

In the summer, the evening water fountain choreography is a spectacle not to be missed. And come winter, the Christmas market around the Wasserturm offers a magical experience. The market is filled with festive stalls selling everything from handcrafted gifts to delicious seasonal treats. The aroma of mulled wine and gingerbread fills the air, adding to the joyous atmosphere.
