Oberhausen Water Tower, Industrial water tower in Oberhausen, Germany.

The Oberhausen Water Tower rises 60 meters above ground with red brick construction and architectural details reflecting late 19th century German engineering.

Built in 1897, the water tower supplied essential resources to Oberhausen residents during the rapid industrial growth period of the Ruhr region.

The water tower forms part of the Route der Industriekultur, connecting visitors to the industrial heritage sites across North Rhine-Westphalia.

Located near public transportation stops, the water tower includes exhibition spaces that present information about local water infrastructure development.

The structure operated under dual management by Gutehoffnungshütte and Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft until its decommissioning in 1965.
