Mühlacker Water Tower
The Mühlacker Water Tower is a 42 metres (138 ft) reinforced concrete water tower in Mühlacker, Germany. The tower was built in 1972/73 and has a container for 600 cubic metres (21,000 cu ft) of water. It is often decorated at Christmas time with a Christmas tree on the roof.
The water tower offers tours for schools and groups. In 2018, during one such tour, there was a "dramatic rescue" as emergency services sought to reach and extricate a man who had suffered a heart attack. Stormy weather prevented a helicopter evacuation and the spiral staircase was too narrow. In the end the man was lowered from the platform, over 130 feet above the ground, using a special rescue basket.[1]
