Water Tower Groß-Gerau, Water tower in Groß-Gerau, Germany.

The cylindrical water tower reaches a height of 45 meters and features observation platforms offering views across the Groß-Gerau region.

Built in 1928 and operational by 1929, the tower received the name 'Hindenburg-Befreiungsturm' in 1930 to mark the departure of French occupation forces.

The water tower stands as a technical monument exemplifying water supply engineering from the early 20th century in the German state of Hesse.

The structure contained a water tank with a capacity of 500 cubic meters, maintaining consistent water pressure for the surrounding communities until 2022.

Following structural issues discovered in 2022, the upper floors closed to visitors, with the final observation deck tour taking place on September 1st.
