The Pinneberger water tower at Peiner Weg 43 was built in 1912 based on the model of the Husum water tower; it is used today as a residential building.
Building
It is a round brick building on an octagonal base. The model was the Husum water tower , which was completed in 1902 . The projecting tank level, clad with slate , is closed off by a pointed tower spire with slate covering. The height is 40.85 m. In its original state, the tower shaft had three storeys. Above - in the cantilevered part - there was originally a support floor container as a water tank. With this type of tank ( Intze container), the support loads are transferred to the shaft of the tower via a pressure ring.

Building history and original use
The Union-Eisenwerke von Herman Wupperman had had their own water supply for his plant in Pinnebergerdorf since 1899. This included a first smaller water tower integrated into the factory complex. In 1912, Herman Wupperman built the larger new tower together with a waterworks . In lengthy negotiations, the city and the company agreed to share the facilities. Wupperman undertook to deliver at least 600 m³ of water per day (price 15 Pf / m³). The city took on the obligation to build the pipe network. In 1952, Otto Wupperman's municipal utilities acquired the water tower and water works. The tower was only used for the city's water supply until 1956.
Pinneberg's water supply today
Today the Stadtwerke Pinneberg supply 53,200 residents of Pinneberg and the surrounding area with drinking water. 12 regional wells contribute to this. In addition to the waterworks on Peiner Weg, the Quickborn-Renzel waterworks is also important. (Status 2011)
Conversion
In 1988 the water tower was entered in the monument book. In 1994 the city of Pinneberg sold the property.
The private interested party, the Kosanke couple, had to pay € 50,000 for the property, the tower on it was free. The new owners had a living area as well as a heating and installation facility set up in the tower. The cost of the renovation was € 250,000. Six false ceilings were installed. This resulted in 500 m² of usable space. An elevator was installed that goes up to the sixth level. During the renovation, the exterior of the water tower could be kept in its original state.
