Old Water Tower
On top of Wienerberg Hill in Vienna’s 10th municipal district Favoriten, the Water Tower is one of the most striking landmarks in the industrial-historicist style. It was built in 1898/99 to supply the higher-situated zones of the 10th and 12th municipal districts with drinking water. A few years later, this task was taken over by the Second Vienna Spring Water Main, which took up operation in 1910. As of that period, the tower was used only occasionally, for example whenever the Second Vienna Spring Water Main was to be shut down for maintenance works.
