Bommerholz Water Tower

Witten, Germany

Exterior only

Visible from the street; the inside is private.

The Bommerholz Water Tower, completed in 1910 in Witten, Germany, is an early example of expressionist architecture applied to industrial infrastructure. Its distinctive expressionist style sets it apart from the more utilitarian designs typical of water towers from that era. Recognized as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, the structure testifies to the period when industrial engineering and artistic ambition converged in the Ruhr region.
