Wasserturm, Water tower in Burg, Germany.

The Wasserturm am Weinberg is a 46-metre water tower on the Weinberg north of Burg's centre, reached via Treppengang. Its upper, slightly widened section holds a riveted cast-iron tank of 400 cubic metres, open at the top and covered only by the wooden floorboards of the storey above.

The tower was built in 1902 by mason Gustav Ortloff when the city needed to modernize its water supply system. It has shaped the city skyline since then and shows how important infrastructure projects were during early industrialization.

The tower is named after the Weinberg hill on Treppengang, north of Burg's centre, where it was built instead of the originally planned site near the Mohrenweiser nursery. Since the 1970s it has no longer served the water supply and is now used for exhibitions.

The tower stands on the Weinberg hill north of Burg's centre, on the street Treppengang. It has been out of water-supply service since the 1970s and is now used for exhibitions. The site is recorded as a monument under registration number 094 05637.

The tank inside is open at the top, shielded only by the wooden planks of the floor above it. The tower is listed as a monument under registration number 094 05637 in the local heritage register.
