Wasserturm Klotzsche, Water tower and heritage monument in Klotzsche, Dresden, Germany.
Wasserturm Klotzsche is a water storage building in Dresden made of concrete with a square base that rises approximately 28 meters high. Large windows on several floors provide views over the surrounding area and define the structure's appearance.
The building was constructed in 1935 to supply water to Dresden Airport and performed this function reliably for several decades. In the 1960s it took on an additional role when it also served as a watch station.
The tower reflects construction methods from the 1930s with its solid concrete framework and characteristic brick walls still visible today. The design remains timeless, showing the engineering approach that was common when it was built.
The building was converted into residential spaces in 2004 and can be viewed from outside, with its original facade providing an authentic look for visitors. Its location in Klotzsche makes it easily accessible for those interested in industrial heritage.
The building preserves an original relief by artist Rudolf Wittig that was relocated from the tower shaft to the entrance area of the property during renovation. This artwork shows the appreciation for cultural details that were kept during the modern conversion.
