Wasserturm Giersberg, Water tower in Brunswick, Germany
The Giersberg Water Tower rises 58.7 meters above Brunswick, featuring a red brick exterior and a massive 2000 cubic meter water tank inside.
Built in 1901 by city architects Max Osterloh and Ludwig Winter, this tower replaced the river waterworks on the Oker and served the city water supply until 1989.
The tower's architectural style incorporates elements of baroque defense towers, marking a period when infrastructure projects received substantial aesthetic consideration.
Located on a natural elevation 10 meters above Brunswick's old town, the tower maintained water pressure for the entire city center through gravity.
The interior equipment remains unchanged since its construction, preserving original mechanical systems from the early 20th century industrial engineering.
