Wasserturm Bredeney, Water tower in Bredeney district, Essen, Germany
The tower features a hexagonal concrete base that narrows toward the top, crowned by a spherical steel tank with a circumferential balustrade.
Built in 1921 at the highest point of Bredeney, the 31-meter structure served as a crucial component of the local water distribution system.
The tower stands as part of the Industrial Heritage Trail, representing the technological progress and engineering achievements of the Ruhr region.
Following renovations in 2002, the structure contains nine floors of residential and office spaces, accessed through a transparent staircase and elevator shaft.
The water tank section received protection status in 1990, while the tower body transformed into private spaces with a glass facade in 1997.
