Guided Story

Look up and notice the unique shape of the water tower. That silhouette tells stories of when it was a vital part of the city's water supply. Imagine it being built back in 1910 with cutting-edge technology of its time. Behind you, you might catch a glimpse of the Kopperhörner Mühle. To your right is the Theater am Meer, a place filled with performances and tales. And if you look closely, you'll see the St. Willehad Church reaching towards the sky. The best time to be here is at sunset, when the sky bursts into warm colors and the North Sea coast glows in golden light.
