Wasserwerk Bockum, Historical waterworks in Wittlaer, Düsseldorf, Germany
The neoclassical building complex includes a portico, machine house, and boiler house, with three operational steam engines still present in the main hall.
The Wasserwerk Bockum operated from 1912 to 1989, supplying drinking water to Duisburg's municipal network through groundwater extraction and purification systems.
The facility represents part of the Industrial Heritage Route focusing on water infrastructure, demonstrating the evolution of municipal utility development in Germany.
During special events like Heritage Day, visitors can explore the preserved historical structure and its machinery, which maintained a daily capacity of 30,000 cubic meters.
The facility houses two steam engines from 1912 and one from 1914, which remain in working condition within the protected water collection area.
