Wasserturm - Water Tower
Address: Spesbacher Strasse, 66877 Ramstein-Miesenbach
The Ramstein Water Tower is located next to the road towards Spesbach. The tower has a height of 33 meters and was erected in 1955. Visible from miles around, it became the landmark of Ramstein. At nighttime, the building is even showcased. When it is getting dark the Ramstein Water Tower is illuminated in eight changing colors. This is made possible by twelve LED spotlights that were installed by the Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach, the public utility company. A specialist company from Neunkirchen arranged the programming and fine tuning. Enjoy this play of colors while driving by, or stop over to take some pictures!
The so-called “Kunzen Kreuz“, an ancient sandstone cross, is located in a field a few hundred meters apart from the tower.
