Wasserturm, Water tower in Eschersheim, Frankfurt, Germany.

Wasserturm is a neo-baroque water tower built in 1901 on Am Lindenbaum in Eschersheim. A conical shaft rises to a main cornice with corbels, above which sits a cylindrical section clad in two-tiered polygonal slate around the iron tank. The roof is a slate mansard with dormers, and a decorative oriel with a tall pointed helm on the north side shelters the stair or ladder to the tank.

The tower was built in 1901 on Am Lindenbaum street together with Eschersheim's first waterworks. Its 300,000-litre tank supplied the district only until Eschersheim was annexed by Frankfurt in 1910, after which the city organised water supply centrally. The tower survived the Second World War largely unscathed.

The tower showcases industrial architecture from the early 20th century and serves as a protected monument today. Its presence shapes the neighborhood landscape and reminds visitors of the era when technical structures helped support the city's development.

The tower stands on Am Lindenbaum street in Eschersheim, surrounded by the 1920s Am Lindenbaum housing estate designed by Walter Gropius. The interior is open to the public only once or twice a year; the exterior, including the north-side decorative oriel with its pointed helm, can be viewed from the street at any time.

The tank held 300,000 litres, not 2,000 cubic metres, and served Eschersheim only until the district was annexed by Frankfurt in 1910, when the city took over supply. The north side has a decorative oriel with a tall pointed spire, a feature normally built to carry a ladder or stair past the tank into the roof.
