Water Tower Plön

The Plön water tower is located in the east of the city of Plön on Scharweg. The water tower was built in 1913 according to the plans of the Bremen engineer Carl Franke. It is stylistically assigned to the late Art Nouveau or reform architecture. After its decommissioning in 1974, it was initially to be demolished, but in 1977 it became one of the first industrial cultural or technical monuments to be placed under monument protection in Schleswig-Holstein.
The water tower is 42.5 m high, its iron water tank holds 150 m³ and belongs constructively to the so-called type Intze 1. The tower shaft with brick cladding is divided by six buttresses. The cladding of the tank consists of natural slate on a wooden substructure. Between the slimmer tower shaft and the tank is a clearly projecting, surrounding viewing gallery with a solid parapet, whose six consoles develop from the six pillar templates of the tower shaft. Particularly characteristic of the Plön water tower is the change in material and color between brick, slate, and the light plaster of the gallery.
