Bahnwasserturm Oldenburg Hafen, Water tower near railway harbor in Oldenburg, Germany

The red brick water tower features a cylindrical shape with vertical pilasters and stands 33 meters tall near the railway bridge at Stau 144.

Built in 1908, this industrial structure supplied water to steam locomotives and fire hydrants at the Oldenburg central station through its 500-cubic-meter tank.

The tower demonstrates the industrial architecture of German railway infrastructure from the early 20th century through its polygonal base and exposed steel container.

Following renovations from 1992 to 1993, the structure now contains 220 square meters of office space spread across six open levels.

The water tank, originally filled with water from the Hunte River, remains visible at the top of the structure without its initial plaster covering.
