Water Tower at Oldenburg Harbour

Highlight • Monument

Building

The 33 m high round tower stands on a polygonal base. Plastered pilasters structure the brickwork of the shaft. Windows are set into the fields between the pilasters on four sides. The steel water tank is located at the top. It has a capacity of 500 m³ and is now clearly visible. It was originally covered with plaster. A tent roof tops the building.

Original use

The tower was built in 1908 by the architect Köhler on behalf of the Grand Ducal Railway Directorate. It served to supply water to the steam locomotives and later also supplied water for the hydrants at Oldenburg Central Station. The water tank was not filled with drinking water, but with water from the Hunte. The water quality was sufficient for the purposes.

Saftkugler Sculpture on the Forest Trail

Highlight • Monument

Allow me: My name is Saftkugler.
I'm actually 10 mm tall and - as my name suggests - can make myself spherical.
My family are the centipedes.
If you look closely, you can see me and my friends at work in the foliage.

View of the Hunte River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful views over the Hunte, unfortunately (depending on the wind direction) the smell of the nearby sewage treatment plant clouds the idyll.

Forest trail in Gellener Torfmöörte

Highlight • Forest

A bit difficult to drive if it rained beforehand. But you will be rewarded. I can recommend the Gellener Torfmöörte, especially early in the morning

Little Bornhorster Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Kleiner Bornhorster See is a quarry lake in the eastern part of Oldenburg (Oldenburg) not far from the border with the Wesermarsch district, which runs only about 500 meters to the northeast. However, it is already outside of the denser urban development of Oldenburg. The lake is near the small town of Groß Bornhorst and the Oldenburg district of Etzhorn, both west of the lake. The Hunte flows three kilometers south of it.
