Altona station water tower

The Altona Station Water Tower reaches a height of 37 meters and features concrete construction with functional design elements from the 1950s period.

Built in 1955, this water tower supplied steam locomotives and station facilities until its operational service concluded in the early 2000s.

The structure represents industrial architectural heritage from the post-war reconstruction period and maintains protected status as a Hamburg monument.

Located in the Altona-Nord district, the water tower stands near the intersection of multiple railway lines serving northern Germany.
