Herten water towers, Water towers in Herten, Germany.

The Herten water towers are two upright cylindrical reinforced-concrete and steel structures, 32 and 29 metres tall, holding 4,000 and 5,000 cubic metres of drinking water. The 1908 tower stands on a masonry and concrete base divided into operating and living rooms; the 1935 tower rests on 16 steel columns arranged in a circle with cross-bracing. They stand on Westerholter Straße near the Recklinghausen/Herten motorway junction.

The first tower, with a 4,000-cubic-metre Intze-type tank, was built in 1908; the second, holding 5,000 cubic metres, followed in 1935, 45 metres to the west. Both have been protected monuments since 1985 and were added in 2016 to the Route der Industriekultur, theme route 28 on water works, towers and turbines.

The towers appear on the Route der Industriekultur under theme route 28, "Wasser: Werke, Türme und Turbinen", since 2016. The first tower's masonry base once held workspaces and dwellings; these have stood empty since operations were automated in 1982. Both towers open to visitors for a few hours once a year on Tag des offenen Denkmals.

The towers stand on Westerholter Straße near the Recklinghausen/Herten motorway junction. They are not open year-round: the interiors can be visited only for a few hours once a year, on Tag des offenen Denkmals. The two structures are 45 metres apart, the 1908 tower east of the 1935 one.

The towers sit at 104 metres above sea level, high enough that water flows into the Gelsenwasser AG network by gravity alone, with no pumps. Both reservoirs are fed from the Halterner Stausee through a 20-kilometre pipeline. The first tower's masonry and concrete base once held living quarters, empty since operations were automated in 1982.
