Rathaus Kornwestheim, Water tower and city hall in Kornwestheim, Germany
The Rathaus Kornwestheim functions as both a municipal building and water tower, rising 48 meters with an additional 13-meter flagpole at its summit.
The structure, completed in 1935 by architect Paul Bonatz, emerged from the need to address Kornwestheim's population growth, which increased fivefold between 1890 and 1933.
The building's southern door, originally created for a previous structure, served as a war memorial in 1916 when citizens attached nails to collect donations.
The water tower contains an integrated reservoir holding 800 cubic meters of water, while two additional ground reservoirs store 2,200 cubic meters each.
The reinforced concrete tower combines three distinct functions: administrative offices, water storage, and a clock tower visible throughout the city.
