Hattersheim waterworks
Wasserwerkchaussee
  • Hattersheim is part of the Rhein-Main industrial route .
  • The Hattersheim waterworks, completed in 1909, was built in Art Nouveau style according to the plans of the master builder Hand Dasen . Elements of the homeland style that was required at the time are also present. The conveyance was operated by means of suction pumps. Originally a steam engine drove the pumps, which are now operated electrically. Currently (2011), the Hattersheim waterworks no longer subsidizes around the clock every day, but only serves to compensate for consumption peaks in the water supply and is held as a failure reserve to secure the supply in the greater Frankfurt am Main area.
Pond at the rosarium
