Hiking

The Wintersheim elevated tank was built in 1906 in the Art Nouveau style on the 231-meter-high Scheelebell hill between the towns of Wintersheim and Eimsheim. It served as the main reservoir II – the water supply for the Rhine-Selz region – with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters. The elevated tank is considered the heart of the drinking water supply system in Rheinhessen. From here, the water flows to over 60 towns, including large-scale consumers. Only a few towns are connected via a pressure pipe or pump; most water is supplied by the natural gradient.

One of 13 water tanks in Rhein-Selz. The WVR has drawn up a Rhine and a vineyard route. The signposted path leads past the monuments from the Art Nouveau period and is very well signposted. All elevated tanks are provided with an information board that provides information about the building. Just take a little break and walk around the buildings. There is a lot to discover.rhein-neckar-industriekultur.de/objects/wasserhaeuser-bei-guntersblum
