Water tower in Katowice-Giszowiec

Highlight • Monument

This tower was built in 1909. It was built at the highest point of the Giszowiec patron estate in order to provide running water to the entire estate. It was designed by architects: Georg and Emil Zillmann from Charlottenburg, the creators of the buildings of Giszowiec and Nikiszowiec, in the style of historicism with elements of neo-Mannerism. The water to the tower was initially supplied by an electric pump located in Zawodzie together with a pressure pump located in the boiler room in Giszowiec. From the water tower, water pipes were run along all streets of the estate. Initially, these water supply lines were not brought to workers' houses, while hydrants were set up every 100 meters, which could also be used by firefighters.
It is a brick building made of red ceramic bricks. It was built on a solid circular base. The masonry structure of the tambour is reinforced with a steel skeleton. This tower is 33.5 meters high. The architecture of the building uses details borrowed from medieval fortifications, including stone consoles, small balconies based on corbels and the frame of the portal. The building consists of two parts: a shaft, cylindrical, tapering towards the top with a balcony, and an octagonal tambour with a water reservoir, supported by consoles. The riveted Barkhausen water reservoir itself has a capacity of 152 m³. The entire structure is completed with an octagonal tent roof covered with plain tiles. At the top there is a terrace with a lantern.
