Wasserturm Bardenberg, Historic water tower in Bardenberg district, Würselen, Germany.
Description
Wasserturm Bardenberg is a brick tower in Würselen reaching about 47 meters high with six stepped buttresses forming a star-shaped base. A copper-clad crown with Art Nouveau details tops the structure, making it visually distinctive in the Bardenberg area.
History
The tower was built between 1909 and 1911 by the Aachen County Waterworks to regulate water from the elevated Eifel region for distribution. After its decommissioning in 1985, the structure transitioned to private ownership, where it remains since 1992.
Culture
The tower stands alongside St. Peter and Paul Church as one of two prominent structures visible from great distances across the Bardenberg landscape.
Practical
The tower can be viewed from the outside and is visible from various vantage points across Bardenberg. Its location is easily accessible and offers good photography opportunities from different angles.
Did you know?
An electronic ring piston valve replaced the tower's original function after 1985, and since 1992 the monument has been under private ownership.
