Tips

December 8, 2020

on the southern outskirts of Stammheim is the water tower, built in 1881, original height 40 m, two superimposed structures (including a dome and a circular walkway) no longer exist. Four coal-fired steam engines in an adjacent building pumped groundwater from well shafts, either directly into the pipe system or inside the water tower.
The water tower is to be renovated and new living space created in it (???)

The Stammheim water tower was built in 1881 and originally had a height of 40 m. All that remains of the old structure is the 28-metre-high base, on which the water tanks used to supply the area were located. Two structures lying one on top of the other, including a dome and a gallery, are no longer preserved.

In a neighboring outbuilding, four coal-fired steam engines once pumped groundwater from well shafts. This was either fed directly into the pipe system or transported inside the water tower to supply Cologne-Mülheim and its districts with drinking water.

The Stammheim water tower was built in 1881 and was originally 40 m high. All that remains of the old building is the 28-meter-high base, on which the water tanks used to supply the surrounding area were located. Two superimposed structures, one of which was a dome and a walkway, are no longer preserved.

In a neighboring outbuilding, four coal-fired steam engines once pumped groundwater from well shafts. This was either fed directly into the pipe system or pumped into the interior of the water tower to supply Cologne-Mülheim and its districts with drinking water.
The owner at the time was the "Rheinische Wasserwerks Gesellschaft", whose inscription can still be seen above the locked entrance.
In 2007, an investor bought the water tower and the land to build apartments and houses. The construction fence is already in place.
