The Lüttringhauser water tower is a building that shapes the town and landscape in the mountainous city of Remscheid in North Rhine-Westphalia.de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lüttringhauser_Wasserturm

The water tower is located east of the district of Lüttringhausen near the federal motorway 1 in Garschager Heide.
It was built in 1914 to supply water to the then still independent town of Lüttringhausen on Garschager Heide on an elevation about 330 meters above sea level. The tower held this function until 1973, when a newly built elevated tank in the neighboring district of Lennep was put into operation for this purpose.
After years of vacancy, the tower, which is now privately owned, was converted for residential purposes and resurfaced (source Wikipedia).
