Wasserturm Ostkreuz, Water tower in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.
The brick water tower reaches 59 meters into the Berlin sky, featuring a cylindrical structure with industrial design elements from the early 1900s.
Karl Cornelius designed and oversaw the construction of this water tower between 1909 and 1912 to supply water for the expanding railway operations.
The structure represents a period of rapid industrialization in Berlin, when urban infrastructure expanded to meet the needs of a growing population.
Visitors can explore the tower's exterior throughout the year and access the interior during special monument open days in Berlin.
The water tower contains original mechanical systems from 1912, including steel water tanks and pressure regulation mechanisms that remain intact.
