Stuttgart-Degerloch water tower

The Stuttgart-Degerloch water tower rises 28 meters high with a diameter of 10.9 meters and contains a water storage capacity of 400 cubic meters.

The brick water tower, constructed between 1911 and 1912, underwent modifications during World War II when authorities reduced its height by three meters to match surrounding trees.

The water tower represents early 20th-century German engineering solutions and stands as a reference point for local residents in the Degerloch district of Stuttgart.

Located at coordinates 48.7539° N and 9.18194° E, the water tower remains accessible through nearby parks and residential areas in Stuttgart's Degerloch neighborhood.

During World War II, Allied aircraft used this water tower as a navigational landmark when targeting a neighboring anti-aircraft battery position.
