The 35 meter high Hohenbudberg water tower was built in 1915/16 by the Prussian railway administration to supply the Hohenbudberg marshalling yard and the railway settlement in Friemersheim [komoot.de/highlight/276592]. In the roof space there are two water tanks made of reinforced concrete, each with a capacity of 500 cubic meters. There were apartments underneath. Today the tower is used as a studio, office and residential building.

The water tower is part of the Industrial Heritage Route.

The imposing double water tower of Hohen Budberg can be seen from afar.
You only need to follow the Deichweg to Krefeld.
