Wasserturm Süd, Water tower in Halle (Saale), Germany
The red brick water tower rises 45.65 meters into the sky, featuring a water tank capacity of 2,000 cubic meters supported by 20 pillars.
Built between 1866 and 1868 as part of the Beesen waterworks project, the tower replaced a medieval water system that caused cholera epidemics.
Engineer Oskar Muy designed the structure while Wilhelm Jost, Wolfgang Bornemann, and Feldtkeller contributed to the architectural elements of the building.
The tower remains operational today, managing drinking water distribution from the Hammelberg reservoir into the supply system of Halle.
The tower displays a quote from Goethe's Faust II: 'Everything springs from water, everything is maintained through water.'
