Wasserturm Emden, Art Nouveau water tower in Emden, Germany
The Wasserturm stands 42 meters tall and features a concrete structure supported by ten reinforced concrete pillars connected through crossbeams.
The water tower, completed in 1912, represented the first reinforced concrete construction in Emden and marked a shift in urban water management systems.
This protected monument illustrates the technical achievements of early 20th-century German engineering through its structural design and water storage solutions.
The tower contains a spiral staircase leading to a water tank with a capacity of 1000 cubic meters, maintaining water pressure for the city network.
The foundation consists of 260 piles, each extending 15 meters into the ground, ensuring stability in the coastal soil conditions.
