Wasserturm Hellerau, Water tower and heritage monument in Hellerau, Germany
The Wasserturm stands 32 meters tall with a steel cylinder water tank of 300 cubic meters capacity above a concrete shaft structure.
Built in 1928 by the local concrete construction company Renschka & Palitzsch following designs by Dresden architect Hans Richter for Hellerau's water supply.
The tower represents early 20th-century industrial architecture with its functional design combining diagonal supports and a cubic container section.
The structure now serves as a support for various antenna systems since its decommissioning as a water tower in the 1950s.
Two intersecting diagonal supports form the tower shaft, reaching 17.05 meters high and containing both the staircase and water pipes.
