Look Up, Look Down – The Vierordtbad Tower

For today’s look up, look down entry, I’m using an old photo that was taken right here in Karlsruhe. It shows the tower of the Vierordtbad swim baths at sunset.

The “tower” is actually a chimney, and all that remains of the former thermal power station, which provided heat for both the Vierordtbad and the neighbouring Tullabad. The rest was torn down in 1989 when the Gartenhalle was built – that green roof that you can see in front of the tower on this photo is the Gartenhalle, which is part of the congress centre. Here’s another photo of the chimney/tower taken on a different day and from a different perspective:

  1. Thanks for sharing this gem on the Look Up Look Down challenge. It’s great to find these little leftover relics. Funnily, I featured an old baths chimney in Margate a while back, very different style, but still a beautiful reminder of things past. Hope to see you again next week! Debbie
