Lanstroper Ei, Industrial water tower in Dortmund, Germany
The Lanstroper Ei rises 60 meters tall with an 18.3-meter-high steel tank that measures 14 meters in diameter, storing 2,000 cubic meters of water.
Built between 1904 and 1905 by the August Klönne company, this water tower supplied water to Lanstrop, Derne, Mengede, Brambauer, and parts of Lünen until 1980.
The structure forms part of the Route der Industriekultur, representing the industrial heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia through its Barkhausen-type construction method.
Located at Rote Fuhr 99 in Dortmund, the tower stands near the A2 motorway and connects to several cycling routes in the surrounding area.
This steel framework tower remains the final example of Barkhausen-type water storage construction in the Ruhr region, featuring hemispherical top and bottom sections.
Location: Dortmund
Part of: Route der Industriekultur – Wasser: Werke, Türme und Turbinen
