Water tower at the Central Station of Darmstadt, Water tower and event venue near Central Station, Darmstadt, Germany.

The red brick water tower stands 48 meters tall near the central station, featuring multiple levels and large windows throughout its structure.

Friedrich Mettegang designed this Art Nouveau water tower in 1910 to supply water to railway operations and locomotives at Darmstadt Central Station.

The structure gained protection status as a cultural heritage monument of Hesse, representing early 20th-century industrial architecture in Germany.

The tower at Bismarckstrasse 179 now functions as an event space, accommodating gatherings of 20 to 90 people with prior reservations.

In 1978, the water tower escaped demolition and received new life in 1986 when musician Albrecht Pfohl transformed it into a private studio.
