Wasserturm Hamburg-Bergedorf

The 31-meter-tall brick tower features historicist architecture with neoclassical elements, including a decorative entrance portal and ornate stone friezes between floors.

Built in 1903 under the supervision of city architect Carl Friedrich Dusi, the tower served as a crucial water supply facility for Bergedorf until its decommission in 1973.

The water tower stands at the edge of the villa district on Pfingstberg hill, representing the industrial progress and engineering capabilities of early 20th century Hamburg.

The structure contains an internal cylinder with a spiral staircase leading to an observation gallery, offering views across the surrounding neighborhoods of Bergedorf.

The tower's water container has been transformed into two semicircular spaces after extensive renovations, while maintaining its protected status as a cultural monument since 1986.
