Wasserturm Hohenkirchen, Water tower in Hohenkirchen, Wangerland, Germany
The brick tower rises 30 meters high with a base of nine meters square and narrows progressively through seven distinct sections up to its top.
The water tower began operations in 1934 to supply drinking water to naval facilities in Schillig and the northern Jeverland region through a connection to Feldhausen waterworks.
The tower stands as a regional marker, designed by architect Fritz Höger who received 300 Reichsmark for his winning design among eleven submissions.
The structure contains four floors with an internal water tank of 180 cubic meters capacity and 146 steps leading to the observation platform.
The tower's foundation consists of 28 reinforced concrete piles, each measuring ten meters in length and 35.5 centimeters in diameter.
