Water Tower Mürwik – View over Flensburg and the Fjord

The Water Tower Mürwik is a landmark of Flensburg and offers an impressive view from its 26 meter high observation deck over the city, the Flensburg Fjord all the way to Denmark and the landscape of Angeln. An exhibition in the tower provides information about Flensburg's drinking water supply.

Water Tower Flensburg – View over the Harbor City

The Mürwik Water Tower is one of the prominent landmarks of Flensburg and shapes the cityscape in the east of the harbor city. The tower, built in 1961, is still in operation as a technical structure and, together with the water tower on Mühlenstraße, ensures a constant water pressure in Flensburg's drinking water network.

Particularly worth seeing is the observation platform of the water tower. From here, an impressive panoramic view opens up over Flensburg, the Flensburg Fjord, and the surrounding area. An elevator takes you most of the way up, the last meters to the observation platform are covered via a staircase.

There is also something to discover on the ground floor: An exhibition informs about Flensburg's drinking water supply and the history of the water tower. Thus, the Mürwik Water Tower connects technical history with a special viewing experience.

The water tower is located in the Volkspark in the district of Mürwik and can easily be combined with a walk through the park or other attractions in eastern Flensburg.
