    Water tower at ul. Janusz Korczak in Katowice - water tower, located at ul. Janusz Korczak, between Burowiec and Borki in Katowice.

    The water tower was built in the style of Art Nouveau and Modernism in 1911–1912 according to the design of Jerzy and Emil Zillmann from 1907, in the area of the then Roździeń commune, on the road to Borki. The tower was built for the expanding zinc works of Georg von Giesches Erben. The building is 68 meters high. In 1919, the tower had two telescopes covering a horizon with a diameter of 40 km. In the interwar years, next to the tower there was a "Polska" mine (from 1937 under the name "Dąbrówka Śląska"). In the 1960s, lead shooting began to be produced in a facility that then belonged to the Szopienice Non-ferrous Metals Plant.
