description

The water tower was built from 1911 to 1912 on behalf of the Filderwasserversorgung according to the drafts of the municipal building department and the executing company, the Stuttgart reinforced concrete construction company. It has a diameter of 10.90 m, a height of 28 and a container volume of 400 m³.

The tower replaces a previous building from 1897, which was in the immediate vicinity. It was demolished in 1912 after the trial run of the new tower was successfully completed. Initially only intended for the direct supply of Degerloch, the new tower gained in importance over the years, especially after the Stuttgart waterworks took over the technical operation of the water supply after the First World War .
