Wasserturm Forst, Water tower in Forst, Germany.

The red brick water tower rises 72 meters above Forst with a base diameter of 15 meters and a conical roof topped by a lantern.

Engineer Ernst Prinz designed this water tower between 1901 and 1903 to establish the first central water supply system for the growing town of Forst.

The entrance portal displays the city crest of Forst, marking the tower's role as a municipal landmark that connects residents to their local heritage.

The tower contains a water reservoir with a capacity of one million liters and stands at the intersection of roads leading to Spremberg and Triebel.

The structure underwent extensive renovation work from 1990 to 1994, which preserved the original neo-Gothic architectural details throughout the building.
