Lüneburg Water Tower

Lüneburg Water Tower is a water tower in the southeastern part of the Lüneburg old town in Lower Saxony, Germany, built by the architect Franz Krüger, from designs by Richard Kampf. Its erection was initiated on 3 October 1905, and the tower was taken into use in November 1907.

The water tower is 55 metres tall, and is the tallest building in the Lüneburg old town that is not a church. It stands between the considerably newer Nordlandhalle and the Johanneum, the latter now used as a school. The tower consists of a square base of 18 metres and a round portion which is walled up around a 500 cubic metres large water tank. The upper part is carried by 16 solid columns.
