Hofbrunnwerk, Pumping station in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
The Hofbrunnwerk consists of a pump room in the basement of the Hofgarten arcades and a turbine room positioned on the northern side.
Between 1615 and 1617, Maximilian I expanded the original fountain works into a water tower to supply drinking water for the court and adjacent urban area.
The Hofbrunnwerk functions as an integral component of the Bavarian Army Museum, demonstrating the connection between military and municipal infrastructure development.
The facility draws groundwater from a dedicated shaft, utilizing energy from the Hofbrunnwerk canal to power the water distribution system for the Hofgarten fountains.
In 1885, engineers replaced the traditional water wheels with advanced Girard turbines to increase the pumping efficiency of the water distribution system.
