Belvedere Water Tower
Belvedereallee 5, 52070 Aachen, Germany
Description:
The concrete water tower Belvedere was built in the middle of the last century on the hillside. It was used to supply water to residential areas in the west of the city. The former building of the Belvedere water tower is included in the list of technical attractions of the city.
Since 1970, a rotating restaurant has been operating in the tower, and the lower floors of the structure are rented out for offices. In the 80s, the tower ceased to fulfill its intended purpose.
The height of the Belvedere Concrete Water Tower is 35 meters, and the diameter is 21 meters. Climbing to the top of the building is possible with the help of an elevator, and for tourists not looking for easy ways, there is a staircase with 173 steps.
