Water tower Ludwigsburg-Fürstenhügel
The water tower Ludwigsburg-Fürstenhügel is a 40 meter high water tower built in 1935 next to the Römerhügelweg in the south of Ludwigsburg in Baden-Württemberg . The brick tower itself, which was built above the prince's grave found by Oscar Friedrich von Fraas in 1877, has a capacity of 2,000 m³. There are four more drinking water tanks below the tower. The tanks with a total capacity of 10,000 cubic meters were put into operation in 1927 and completed in 1956.
In addition to its actual purpose as a water tower, it also serves as an antenna carrier for mobile communications services and for broadcasting the Deutschlandfunk program on the VHF frequency 94.1 MHz.
Together with the Laurentiuskirche in Neckarweihingen and the quarry in Neckarrems, the water tower is a focal point for the jackdaw .
