Herten water towers, Water towers in Herten, Germany.
The Herten water towers feature two distinct structures that stand prominently against the skyline, serving as enduring markers of industrial development.
These water towers were constructed during a period of rapid urban expansion in the early 20th century to meet the growing water supply needs of the region.
The towers represent a significant component of the Route der Industriekultur, a cultural pathway connecting important industrial heritage sites across North Rhine-Westphalia.
Visitors can access the towers throughout the year and photograph these industrial structures from various angles while exploring the surrounding grounds.
The water towers maintain their original external architecture while standing as examples of early municipal water management systems in German industrial cities.
