Wasserturm, Water tower in Worms, Germany.
The Wasserturm stands 58 meters tall on Karl Square in western Worms, featuring a regional architectural style with red sandstone and decorative elements.
The tower, designed by architect Karl Hofmann, was constructed between 1889 and 1890 to supply drinking water from the Rhine River to western Worms.
The structure represents a prime example of Worms neo-romanticism architecture, similar to the water tower design found in nearby Mannheim.
After ceasing water operations in 1962, the tower underwent renovation in 2007 and now contains five residential apartments spread across nine floors.
The tower collected water from 1.5 meters below the Rhine's surface and maintained a storage capacity of 1,200 cubic meters during its operational period.
