Wasserturm Sindelfingen-Steige, Water tower in Sindelfingen, Germany.
Description
The Wasserturm Sindelfingen-Steige is a concrete tower built in 1960 that rises approximately 65.6 meters (215 feet) above the Steige district. At its top sits a water storage tank, with radio transmission equipment installed later to serve local broadcasting needs.
History
The tower was built in 1960 to store water for Sindelfingen as the town grew during the post-war reconstruction period. Over time it gained a second purpose as a radio broadcasting station for the region.
Culture
The tower marks an era when Sindelfingen expanded after World War II and needed new infrastructure to support its growing population. Today it represents how practical industrial buildings became part of the town's visual identity.
Practical
The tower is located in a residential area and remains visible from public streets, but visitors cannot access the interior or climb to the top. The best time to photograph it is during daylight hours when lighting shows the concrete structure clearly.
Did you know?
The tower has broadcast local radio programs since 1988 and continues to transmit to listeners across several surrounding counties. This dual function as both water storage and active radio station makes it a working piece of infrastructure rather than just a historical remnant.
