Between 1902 and 1903 the 41 meter high Erkelenz water tower was built and, with this height, is a defining element of the cityscape alongside the 83 meter high Lamberti Tower. With its 200,000 liter water tank, it reliably supplied the city's population for many years.

The water tower turned into a single-family house with around 200 square meters of living space with a breathtaking view (probably), was never up there!
You can't forbid beautiful living 👍😀
