Water Tower at Turnplatz

Highlight • Monument

"The water tower in the Hanseatic city of Wismar in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a neo-Gothic brick tower dating back to 1897. It was part of the former waterworks at the Turnplatz.The water from nearby Metelsdorf has been channeled into the city since 1573 from its conversion around 1600 in its place on the market place, replaced a wooden box that previously existed there and served to supply the citizens with water until 1897, was fed from these sources.The supply of water from only one source proved with capping the Pipes at the siege of Wismar 1675 as a disadvantage.Therefore, since 1685 in addition water from the mill pond in a former defense tower, which was part of the city fortifications and was now called old water tower, promoted and forwarded from there due to the Choleragefahr the water was allowed from the pond since 1892 no longer be mixed with the Metelsdorfer water The expansion of the city and the resulting increase in water demand made it necessary to open up further sources. At the former gas works, a water reservoir was found, which additionally secured the drinking water supply by means of three 15 to 52 meter deep tube wells. But the 16 tube wells at Metelsdorf remained the most important source of supply for the time being. Since November 3, 1897, the water was pumped into the container of the newly built water tower at the turnstile, from where it was further distributed via the pipe network. Despite the new waterworks there was also in the following period to lack of water, which changed only by the introduction of water meters in 1908.
In 1929 new sources were opened in Friedrichshof. Over the years, the technical equipment was renewed and expanded. With the construction of the Friedrichshof waterworks in the east of Wismar, the waterworks at the turnstile were shut down in 1967, but the water tower still served as a reserve for potential accidents for some time.

St. Marienkirche Tower (Wismar)

Highlight • Religious Site

Unfortunately, only the tower of the church, which is just over 80 m high, has been preserved. The nave was heavily destroyed in World War II, and demolished in 1960. It was one of the highest church in Wismar, with a height of over 32 m in the nave. Today you can still see the outlines.

Old Swede, Wismar

Highlight • Historical Site

Alter Schwede is called the oldest town house in Wismar. The building was built around 1380 in the late brick Gothic style on the Wismar market square. The term Old Swede came about later, however, in connection with the coming to terms with the Swedish era in Wismar in the 19th century, which is also referred to by one of the Swedish heads in the portal above the entrance door.
