Wasserturm Nord, Industrial water tower in Halle (Saale), Germany.
The 54-meter-tall brick structure features a tapering shaft and a slate-covered turret with iron framework at its summit.
Built between 1897 and 1899 under architect Ewald Genzmer, the tower contained a 1500 cubic meter water tank based on Otto Intze principles.
Marine creatures sculpted from sandstone by artists Fr. Guth and Fr. Mänicke decorate the base of this architectural monument.
The water tower stopped operations in 1965 after the implementation of a long-distance water network connecting Ostharz and Elbaue regions.
The structure now functions as headquarters for the Association for the Preservation of Water Towers in Halle following restoration from 1992 to 1999.
