Neuer Wasserturm Dessau, Water tower in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.

Neuer Wasserturm Dessau is a 63.5-metre water tower built in 1897 to a design by city architect Paul Engel. Its lower storeys are round, with an internal base diameter of 17 metres and an external one of 22 metres, while the upper section is octagonal. Most windows are neo-Gothic, horizontal bands of cornices and friezes divide the shaft, and the round-arched main portal, closer to neo-Romanesque, carries several friezes, a coat-of-arms stone and the year 1896. The high reservoir held 1100 cubic metres and was removed in the 20th century.

The tower was designed and built in 1897 by city architect Paul Engel and survived the heavy air raids on Dessau in 1945 without major damage. It has remained part of the city's infrastructure and architecture since the early 20th century.

The tower has shaped Dessau's identity for over a century and is recognized by residents as a defining landmark of their city.

The tower is visible from outside and a defining feature of the city's skyline, and its architectural details can be appreciated from the street level. The best time for photographs is in bright daylight when the neo-Gothic windows and decorative elements are clearly visible.

In 1919 a biplane pilot struck the tower's weather vane and crashed into Friesenstraße; the source records no structural changes afterwards. The tower's steel staircase, which once ended in mid-air, gained a closing platform with a walkway at 20 metres in 2020, with extra safety fittings added in 2021.
