Lonely Planet review

Mannheim's fave symbol, its Wasserturm , stands on the highest point of Friedrichsplatz. This square is one of Europe's finest Art Nouveau architectural ensembles and is a popular spot to hang out in summer. The tower, constructed in 1888, was designed to hold 2000 cubic meters (2616 cubic yards) of water. It was pretty much destroyed in WWII then rebuilt.
