Kunstturm, Heritage water tower in Weimar, Germany
The Kunstturm is a water tower in Weimar standing about 35 meters tall with distinctive industrial architecture and four full floors. The complex includes the main tower and an adjacent building that contains several rental apartments for visitors.
The structure was built between 1912 and 1916 to supply water to steam locomotives at the railway station. After decades of abandonment, an artistic intervention brought the building back to life in the early 2000s.
The tower now functions as an exhibition space and event venue for concerts and celebrations. Artists have brought the structure to life, turning it into a gathering place for creative activities in the city.
The site sits near the railway station and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can attend exhibitions and events or stay in the apartments that are part of the complex.
The building holds the status of a triple-protected monument, highlighting its architectural importance. The adjacent social building is unusually large and sets this water tower apart from other similar structures.
