The water tower at Elstal train station is a striking landmark and an important historical building in the region. It was built in 1895 and originally served as part of the supply infrastructure for the nearby railway facilities. The water tower was part of a system that supplied steam locomotives with water to run their steam engines.
The structure itself is an impressive example of late 19th century industrial architecture. With its characteristic cylindrical shape and striking height, the water tower towers over the surrounding landscape. Originally it was equipped with a huge tank that stored the water needed for the steam locomotives.
Over the years, technology in the railway sector has advanced and the need for water towers like this has diminished. Nevertheless, the water tower at Elstal train station remains as a historical monument and continues to enjoy great popularity among locals and visitors.
Nowadays the water tower is used for other purposes. It often serves as a venue for cultural events, exhibitions or concerts. Its unique atmosphere and impressive architecture make it a popular destination for photographers and tourists looking to explore the region's history and industrial past.
The water tower at Elstal train station is therefore not only a relic of bygone times, but also a living symbol of the progress and changeability of the landscape and its use over time.

Passionate "phone clipper". Currently with mine Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. A great phone with XNUMX TB of storage. Lots of space for experiments. My favorite subjects are plants, Eat & drink, animals, Buildings and Landscapes.
Otherwise, I like to spend my time in nature and sometimes hang out on the PC, with a cozy round Civ or Star Citizen, away. A series is also often sought after on the couch in the evening.
