Wasserturm Bedingrade
Wasserturm Bedingrade, Water tower in Bedingrade district, Essen, Germany
The cylindrical brick structure rises 44.15 meters into the sky, featuring distinctive arched windows and cornices along its facade.
Built in 1897 under the direction of master builder Hermann Koehne, the tower served as a critical water supply facility for the expanding industrial region.
The water tower forms part of the Industrial Heritage Trail - Water, connecting multiple historical water infrastructure sites throughout North Rhine-Westphalia.
The steel tank at the top of the tower maintains its original function, storing one million liters of water for distribution to cities including Bottrop and Gladbeck.
Since 2019, the tower features LED illumination that transforms its appearance during evening hours through different color combinations.
