Ostmannturm, Former water tower in Bielefeld, Germany.
The Ostmannturm stands 34 meters tall with a copper dome and integrates into a three-story factory building at Hanns-Bisegger-Strasse 7.
Built between 1912 and 1914 for a local consumer association as a slaughterhouse, the building later housed Ostmann spice mills from 1938 to 1978.
The structure received nicknames reflecting its past uses: first known as 'Butcher Church' during meat processing times, then 'Pepper Church' during spice production.
The Social Work Association of Bielefeld Freemasons acquired the building in 1980 and transformed it into student housing with multiple residential units.
This tower remains the last industrial building in its neighborhood, marking the transition from a manufacturing district to a residential area.
