    In Hamburg there are still a number of water towers that are listed buildings and have therefore been preserved. Nevertheless, several of them have been given a new use.

    Ochsenzoll is better known to Hamburgers for the former psychiatric "Ochsenzoll Institution" - built in 1893 under the name of the insane asylum. It was only in 2006 that the municipal state hospital company sold land and listed buildings to Asklepius Klinik Nord. The transfer to Asklepius and other users was made on the condition that the outstanding buildings be preserved and put to a new use.
