Facts and practical information

Freising Water Tower is a listed water tower in Freising, Germany.

Freising's central water supply went into operation in 1888. In order to be able to connect the higher-lying areas of Freising to the drinking water supply, the construction of a water tower became necessary at the latest with the construction of the Jäger barracks. The choice fell on the site next to the new barracks, where there was already an earth tank for drinking water. The tower, built in 1906, was designed as a reinforced concrete structure. Externally, the octagonal tower is modeled on the Baroque. On the seventh floor there is a circular walkway, and on the eighth floor there is the water tank with a capacity of 100 m3. With a total height of 46 m, the tower is the highest point in the city of Freising due to its location on the Wehrberg. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the tower, it was renovated by the municipal utilities. Among other things, the tower, which was in operation, was re-plastered and bullet holes from the world wars were removed from the tin roof.
