Wasserturm des Dortmunder Südbahnhofs

The 43-meter tall brick structure contains two concrete water tanks, each holding 800 cubic meters of water in its upper section.

Built between 1923 and 1927 by Deutsche Reichsbahn, this tower supplied water to steam locomotives until the 1950s at Dortmund South railway station.

The building includes seven floors that contained social spaces for railway workers, including changing rooms, washing facilities, and accommodation for train personnel.

The ground floor originally housed retail spaces, while today the building serves as office spaces for architects and advertising agencies.

The former water tanks in the upper third of the building now host art exhibitions, presentations, and concerts throughout the year.
