The Kirchheim unter Teck water tower , also known as the "Hohes Reisach water tower", is one of the two water towers in the Kirchheim unter Teck municipality in the Esslingen district , about 50 meters west of the  1201 road in the Hohes Reisach forest .

The tower was built in 1961 from reinforced concrete, is 33 meters high, has an octagonal shape with a flat roof and a diameter of around 10 meters and can store 400 cubic meters of water. Its facade contains some windows.

As it towers above the trees around it, it is clearly visible and, due to its location at one of the highest points in Kirchheim unter Tecks, a landmark.

The Kirchheim / Teck water tower also serves as a VHF radio transmitter. The program of "Die neue 107.7" is broadcast from its transmitting antenna on 106.5 MHz with 100 W transmission power and that of Deutschlandfunk on 91.3 MHz with 100 W transmission power.
