Hi guys, i’m currently on a vacation in Cologne and just settled down in my airbnb! But I saw this in the toilet and it heats up at the bottom. May i know what is this and how do i use this?

Thank you in advance!

  1. A towel heater.

    Place (cold) towels on top, switch on the appliance and dry off with a warm towel after a shower/bath. Or afterwards to dry the towels or without towels as additional heating.

  2. It’s a heater. You can hang towels on it to dry.

  5. It’s a “heizung” (heater in english) it’s mounted like that so that people can hang up their towels and other things to dry. You use it by turning the knob (usually to the left) but don’t forget to turn it off if you don’t need it anymore. 😉

  6. This is a special heating for bathrooms. You can hang your towels or clothes between the rails and they become warm. I have the same in my bathroom and I use it very often.

  7. If it gets warm only at the bottom (and maybe makes warbling sounds) it needs to be bled – ask your host if the heat is insufficient 😊

  8. You’re looking at the greatest part of Germany, my friend

  9. I’m sorry if this seems like an attack on the OP, but it isn’t intended as one. I just don’t understand the thought process behind posting this on Reddit. Using Google Lens or a simple Google search would have been preferable before posting it. It’s mind-boggling.

  13. It’s a towel rail. Pretty common heater used in bathrooms usually. Works as a radiator.

  14. It’s a radiator which simultaniously can be used as a towel dryer. If the appliance works corectly, it should heat up completely.

  15. Radiator for drying towels, also clothes if you need to.

  16. Scrolling on these forums I wonder daily where do people come from if they ask these kind of questions. Im not even in Germany and this is just common sense

  17. I mean, id say its the best ladder kids arent allowed to climb! But maybe thats unpopular

  20. It’s a radiator but also a towel rack, it keeps the bathroom warm and a place to dry towels on. There should be a knob somewhere with numbers on it the higher the number on the knob the warmer the heat it emits is. 

  21. It’s a condom drying rack, so you can re use them

  25. Nice toasty towel after a shower. Keeps your balls from being on your tonsils on cold days after a shower.

  26. You are in an SM airbnb. You turn up the heat and then handcuff yourself to the thing. Ask your host for the handcuffs.

  28. Only the best invention ever for bathrooms? It’s a radiator with a shape so that you can hang damp towels to dry.

  31. It’s a radiator that can also be used as a drying rack for towels.
