Mannheim entdecken

The Jesuit Church is a Baroque Catholic church in Mannheim built between 1733 and 1760 to a design by Alessandro Galli da Bibiena, with twin red sandstone towers and a 75-metre dome. Heavily damaged in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in its historic style using salvaged elements and frescoes by Egid Quirin Asam, and remains an active parish church.

The Mannheim Water Tower is a 60-metre sandstone tower built between 1886 and 1889 by architect Gustav Halmhuber as the city's first central water supply tower. It stands at the centre of Friedrichsplatz, a park laid out from 1899 to 1903 with a cascade fountain and rose garden, and has been a protected landmark since 1987.
