This somewhat strange structure is found between the lower and upper lake in the city centre of Böblingen, a town near Stuttgart in Germany. I say strange because it seems so barren and stark.
The reflections make a great photographic subject.
And getting close one can play with thin columns and shadows and vanishing points.
Here is a fourth, a bonus picture, which I just had to include:

When I researched the name of this tower I found it aptly described as “Aussichtsmonstrum” = look-out monstrosity. There is, even with towers, no accounting for taste. It adds 21m to the Stäffelsberg (480m) to afford a view over the Pfälzer Wald in the southern part of Rhineland-Palatium, close to the French border.
This much older tower (by about 700 years) is arguably more beautiful. It stands in Weinheim, on the other side of the Rhine. It has dominated my childhood as my parents’ (and now my sister’s) garden lies directly behind it. Which is why I include this less popular view of the Blauer Hut (the Blue Hat, as it is known):
