Neuer Wasserturm Dessau
Neuer Wasserturm Dessau, Water tower in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.
The 63.5-meter-tall water tower features neo-Gothic windows, a round-arched main portal with friezes, and a coat of arms stone on its facade.
Built in 1897 by city architect Paul Engel, the tower remained largely undamaged during the Allied air raids on Dessau in March 1945.
The tower represents a notable example of eclectic architectural style from the late 19th century and stands as a defining element of Dessau's skyline.
Since 2006, the Association for the Promotion and Preservation of the New Water Tower has overseen restoration efforts, including roof and lantern repairs.
In 1919, a pilot flying a biplane accidentally hit the tower's weather vane before crashing, leading to subsequent modifications of the structure.
