Dambergwarte

On your right, look for a pale stone tower with a steep metal roof and a low attached house, marked by the iron Panther fixed to the wall.

This little tower did serious work. Between fifteen seventy-two and fifteen seventy-four, Michael Aidn built it for the city, tucking a water reservoir inside. A waterwheel in the Steyr powered a pump that shoved river water up here and sent it on to the Neptune and Poseidon fountains in the town square... basically, this was the hidden engine behind public splendor. If you want to see that riverside logic, take a glance at your screen. In nineteen fifteen, the south wall gained the Iron Panther, a war-nailing monument - a wooden figure people hammered nails into to raise money during the First World War. The close view in the app catches its fierce stare. In nineteen oh-nine, the imperial monument commission saved the tower from demolition, even though it already leaned thirty-two centimeters, and workers shortened it by eight meters instead. The pump kept running until nineteen forty-eight. You can visit this exterior anytime; it is accessible twenty-four hours a day. Take a moment here... when you're ready, we can drift on to Saint Michael.
