The Schanzenturm is the former largest water tower in Europe, located on a hill (28 m above sea level) in Hamburg's Sternschanzenpark. It is an industrial building, built between 1907 and 1910 by the architect Wilhelm Schwarz, who was employed by the Hamburg waterworks, and was used in its original function until 1961. The base of the tower is a high reservoir for the former city water supply, which had existed since 1863 and was taken out of service in 1905. Today it houses the Mövenpick Hotel.
