The Kehl water tower, with its almost 50 m height, can be seen from far away in the Rhine plain. It was built in 1904 and used to supply drinking water until 1980. Today it is still connected to the mains supply as an emergency supply.

This water tower was built in 1904 and is almost 50m high. At the shaft it has a diameter of approx. 11.90 m. The railway line built in 1844 made it possible for more industry to settle in Kehl and as a result the water requirement had to be more regulated. So it was decided to build a water tower.
