Kunstturm, Heritage water tower in Weimar, Germany
The Kunstturm rises 35 meters above Weimar, greeting travelers arriving by train with its distinctive industrial architecture and four full floors.
Built between 1912 and 1916, the water tower contained a 400,000-liter suspended tank that supplied water to steam locomotives at the railway station.
In 2004, artists Jeremias and Heiko Freesemann transformed the abandoned structure into an exhibition space and event venue for concerts and celebrations.
The tower complex includes several vacation apartments in the adjacent social building, offering accommodations for visitors interested in staying at this historical site.
The structure maintains its status as a triple-designated monument, featuring an exceptionally large social building that sets it apart from other water towers.
