    The water tower of the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel is exactly 43.7 m high. Actually a beautiful old water tower built in 1903.

    First came the construction of the water works, followed by the water tower and the first 1200 house connections to the drinking water supply. With the construction of this water tower, the wooden water supply was replaced by iron pipes to every household. The water tower was in operation until 1981. In 2013 it was decided to sell the water tower. The water tower is privately owned.

    Apparently he seems to be left to decay. It is smeared with graffiti in the lower region and the roof now also shows obvious damage. The ground surrounding the tower seems to some to be considered a large trash can. Too bad.

      The 44 meter high building was built in 1903 according to plans by the Salzwedel architect Albert Strauchenbruch. The neo-Gothic building was used for water supply until 1981. After that, the tower was shut down. The tower was sold in 2013 and is now residential.
