Wasserturm Cottbus, Water tower in Vetschauer Street, Cottbus, Germany
The water tower features a circular brick shaft that tapers upward, crowned by a spherical steel tank with a capacity of 500 cubic meters.
The Prussian State Railways commissioned this tower in 1914 to supply water for steam locomotives, and operations ceased in 1955.
The structure represents the Klönne container system design, developed by the Dortmund steel construction company Aug Klönne, which influenced numerous water tower constructions.
The interior preserves an original single-flight iron staircase with wooden steps and flat steel railings leading to the observation platform.
The tank exterior includes a combined walkway-ladder system that enabled maintenance workers to inspect the container surface from the outside.
