Wasserturm, Water tower in Nord district, Hannover, Germany
The limestone water tower rises 62 meters above the Vahrenwalder Street, featuring a cylindrical structure with gray-blue irregular ashlar masonry.
Completed in 1911 under architect Hermann Schaedtler's design, this structure stood as Europe's largest water tower, holding 4,100 tons of water.
The tower's design reflects medieval fortress architecture through its round tower character and stone masonry construction techniques.
The former water facility currently functions as an event venue, offering spaces for corporate gatherings and various social functions.
The water chamber rests upon a concrete cylinder supported by 132 concrete piles designed to bear its substantial weight.
