Misburg water tower, Water tower in Misburg, Hanover, Germany.

Misburg water tower is a cylindrical concrete structure in Hanover that stored water for the city's supply system. The building has a simple, functional form typical of mid-twentieth century industrial facilities.

The round reinforced-concrete tower was built in 1941 as a Rundturm air-raid shelter protecting Misburg civilians during bombing raids, including those on the Deurag-Nerag refinery. A near miss on 24 August 1944 destroyed its Zerschellerplatte but left the shelters intact. After the war it was defortified and lost its conical roof; in 1959 a steel-concrete tank of about 800 m³ was mounted on V-shaped supports, raising it to 30 m, and it served as Misburg's water tower from 1960 to 1971.

Since the late 1980s the tower has housed practice rooms rented to music groups, after the vacant building was sold to a private owner in the 1980s for 1000 DM. The street Am Wasserturm, laid out south of Hannoversche Straße in 1962, takes its name from the tower.

The tower stands at the fork of Hannoversche Straße and Am Seelberg in Misburg-Nord; approaching from the west along Hannoversche Straße, it faces you head-on for a long stretch. The building is privately used for music practice rooms, so plan on an exterior view only. The nearby street Am Wasserturm, laid out in 1962, is a useful reference point.

The bunker lost its conical roof when it was de-fortified after the war, and the steel-reinforced concrete tank added in 1959 holds around 800 m³ on V-shaped supports. In the 1980s the empty tower was sold to a private buyer for 1000 DM. A street south of Hannoversche Straße has been called Am Wasserturm since 1962.
