Wasserturm Kiel-Wik, Former water tower in Kiel, Germany
The 34.2-meter cylindrical tower features red brick masonry at ground level and alternating brick and plaster surfaces in the tank area.
Built in 1904 by Naval Building Councilor Adalbert Kelm, the tower supplied water to the Kiel Naval School, military barracks, and marine residential complexes.
The structure represents early 20th-century German industrial architecture, combining brick, concrete, and iron in its reinforced concrete construction.
The building transformed from a water storage facility with a 300-cubic-meter Barkhausen tank to residential apartments after its decommission in 1966.
Between 1966 and 1981, the tower served as an intermediate storage facility for district heating before being registered as a protected monument in 1992.
