Lichtscheider Wasserturm, Water tower in Wuppertal, Germany
The Lichtscheider Wasserturm stands 53.9 meters tall with a concrete shaft of 5.04 meters in diameter and a water container capacity of 1,540 cubic meters.
Built in 1975, this concrete water tower replaced an older structure that was demolished in 1977 to ensure water supply for the southern heights of Wuppertal.
The tower marks the highest point in Wuppertal at 350 meters above sea level, serving as a reference point for the local community.
The structure contains two separate chambers holding 1,250 and 290 cubic meters of water, primarily sourced from the Herbringhauser reservoir for distribution to Ronsdorf and Cronenberg.
Following renovations in 2018, the tower features 600 LED lights that illuminate the structure with programmable colors visible across the city at night.
