Wassertürme am Hellweg

The two concrete water towers, located south of Hamm, feature round white tops and arched dome roofs with partial brick cladding on their exteriors.

The eastern tower, built in 1907 and heightened by 19 meters in 1935, sustained damage from a bomb strike in 1944 during World War II.

The towers are included in the Industrial Heritage Route of North Rhine-Westphalia, highlighting the region's water infrastructure development and engineering achievements.

The facility stores and distributes 40,000 cubic meters of drinking water daily, collected from the Ruhr River and pumped through underground pipelines.

The western tower, constructed between 1949 and 1952, contains multiple intermediate floors and an observation level with glass windows.
