Saloppe waterworks, Technical monument and waterworks in Dresden, Germany

The Saloppe waterworks stands on the right bank of the Elbe River, featuring industrial architecture from the 19th century with red brick facades.

Constructed in 1871 under city architect Theodor Friedrich and engineer Bernhard Salbach, the facility became Dresden's first drinking water plant in 1875.

The facility underwent transformation from a municipal water supply plant to residential spaces, reflecting changes in urban development and preservation methods.

The waterworks supplied over 4,000 cubic meters of drinking water daily to Dresden residents through a filtration system from the Elbe River.

Following renovation works started in 2017, the former waterworks buildings now contain residential units priced at 4,500 euros per square meter.
