Wasserturm Süd, Water tower in Halle (Saale), Germany

Wasserturm Süd is a red brick water tower in Halle that serves as storage and distribution for drinking water. The structure is supported by pillars and stands at an elevated location, allowing water to flow into the city's pipe network through natural gravity.

Halle's medieval Wasserkunst an der Neumühle fed unfiltered water into the town wells and cholera outbreaks followed. In 1866 the city decided to build the Beesen waterworks; it was completed by 1868 together with the pipes and an octagonal neo-Gothic tower on the Lutherplatz. That tower was sold and burned down in 1875, and after 50 years it was replaced by the present tower, built in 1927–1928.

The only decorative element on the tower is a quotation from Goethe's Faust II: "Alles ist aus dem Wasser entsprungen, alles wird durch das Wasser erhalten." Since January 2020 a light installation illuminates the viewing platform. The adjoining substation now houses the Historisches Technikzentrum of the Stadtwerke Halle, and its seven-metre-high ground-floor hall hosts musical events, notably the Adventssingen.

The tower is located in the southern part of the city and is easily reached from the street network. As it is an active water utility structure, interior access is not typically available, but the exterior architecture is clearly visible from surrounding areas.

The only ornament on the tower is a quote from Goethe's Faust II: "Alles ist aus dem Wasser entsprungen, alles wird durch das Wasser erhalten." The tower still regulates drinking water today by controlling the Oppin weir structure via its tank level.
