Freising water tower
The Freising water tower is a listed water tower in Freising .
The central Freising water supply went into operation in 1888. In order to be able to connect the higher-lying areas of Freising to the drinking water supply, the construction of a water tower was necessary at the latest with the construction of the Jäger barracks ( Vimy barracks ). The choice fell on the location next to the new barracks, where there was already an underground container for drinking water. The tower, built in 1906, was constructed as a reinforced concrete structure . Externally, the octagonal tower is based on the baroque. There is a tour on the seventh floor and the water tank with a capacity of 100 m 3 on the eighth floor . With a total height of 46 m, the tower is the highest point in Freising due to its location on the Wehrberg. For the 100th anniversary of the tower, it was renovated by the municipal utilities. Among other things, the tower that was in operation was re-plastered and bullet holes from the world wars were removed in the tin roof.
