Wasserturm und Gedenkstätte auf dem Wartberg
Wasserturm und Gedenkstätte auf dem Wartberg, Water tower and memorial in Friedberg, Germany.
The octagonal concrete structure rises 38 meters above Wartberg hill, combining water storage facilities with commemorative spaces on multiple levels.
Built between 1923 and 1928, the tower initially served municipal water needs and became a memorial site in 1932 for Friedberg's war casualties.
The memorial sections include a hall of honor, crypts, and commemorative plates that pay tribute to soldiers from both World War I and II.
Visitors can access the site at Frankfurter Strasse 23, where the tower provides water storage capacity of 400 cubic meters for the city.
The tower's design incorporates architectural elements that reference the medieval Adolfsturm fortress, connecting modern utility with regional heritage.
