      There is a historic water tower in Friedberg, Bavaria. It was built in 1888/89 and is located at Jesuitengasse 5. The round brick tower with a dentil frieze has the character of a fortification tower and is a listed building. It has been used as an architect's office since 1984.

        "...The city wall of Friedberg was first built from stone in 1409 and had three city gates, none of which still exist. In addition to the wooden battlements, the city fortifications included four round towers at the corners and numerous defensive towers. Many of them still exist today and can be admired, such as the torture tower with its interrogation and torture room or the Red Water Tower, which was in use from 1888-1936. The name of most of the towers is based on the family names or the professions of their former residents: Gunsmith Tower, Bookbinder Tower or Council Servant Tower..."
