Wassertürme am Hellweg, Water towers in Hamm, Germany

The Wassertürme am Hellweg are two round concrete towers in Hamm-Berge with wide white tops and arched dome roofs. The eastern tower, built 1907–1908, has a light-coloured brick facade with neo-Romanesque detailing in its lower section. The western tower, built 1949–1952, has a smooth concrete surface and a glazed viewing level.

The eastern tower was built in 1907 and later heightened, but it suffered bomb damage during World War II. The western tower was built after the war between 1949 and 1952 as a modern reconstruction.

The towers are part of the Industrial Heritage Route of North Rhine-Westphalia and show how important infrastructure was for the region's development. They stand today as examples of the industrial era's technical achievements that shaped the city landscape.

You can see the towers clearly from outside when walking or driving near Hellweg. They are easily visible from several points in the city because of their different heights and shapes.

On the dome of the western tower stood the amateur radio relay station DB0HAT until 2012, when it was moved to Hamm's harbour area. At night both towers are illuminated, and on special occasions they are lit in different colours.
