This beautiful water tower is located in Worms and was converted into residential use years ago.
Info:
The Worms water tower is a water tower completed in 1890 in Worms and, with a height of 58 meters, is a widely visible structure.
The water tower was built between 1889 and 1890. Its purpose was to ensure the drinking water supply of Worms. Until then, drinking water in Worms had to be drawn from public wells. Around the same time, similar water towers were built in many large and medium-sized cities, such as the Mannheim water tower. The elevated tank in Worms held 1200 cubic meters and was in operation until 1962, when it was replaced by two elevated tanks with a volume of 8000 cubic meters each in the Herrnsheim district.
After a long period of disuse and beginning decay, an ownership company was founded in early 2007 that installed apartments while preserving the historic building fabric.
The building is – besides being part of the "Karlsplatz monument zone" – also a cultural monument under the state law for the protection and care of cultural monuments.This beautiful water tower is located in Worms and was converted into residential use years ago.

Der Wormser Wasserturm ist ein 1890 fertiggestellter Wasserturm in Worms und mit einer Höhe von 58 Metern ein weithin sichtbares Bauwerk.
Der Wasserturm wurde in den Jahren von 1889 bis 1890 errichtet. Seine Aufgabe war es, die Trinkwasserversorgung von Worms sicherzustellen. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt musste Trinkwasser in Worms aus öffentlichen Brunnen geschöpft werden. Fast zeitgleich entstanden in vielen Groß- und Mittelstädten ähnliche Wassertürme, beispielsweise der Mannheimer Wasserturm. Der Hochbehälter in Worms fasste 1200 Kubikmeter und war bis 1962 in Betrieb, als ihn zwei Hochbehälter mit einem Volumen von jeweils 8000 Kubikmetern im Stadtteil Herrnsheim ersetzten.
Nach langer Zeit der Funktionslosigkeit und des beginnenden Verfalls wurde Anfang 2007 eine Eigentümergesellschaft gegründet, die unter Berücksichtigung der historischen Bausubstanz Wohnungen einbaute.
Das Gebäude ist – neben seiner Zugehörigkeit zur „Denkmalzone Karlsplatz“ – auch ein Kulturdenkmal aufgrund des Landesgesetzes zum Schutz und zur Pflege der Kulturdenkmäler.
