Wohnhaus mit Wasserturm

Gazing at the Wohnhaus mit Wasserturm, can you imagine living in a converted water tower? This unique landmark in Liebertwolkwitz, Leipzig, has a surprising history. The Wohnhaus mit Wasserturm, built around 1910, originally served the vital function of providing water to the community. Its 55-meter height made it a prominent landmark. It symbolized progress and modernity. This structure, once essential for daily life, now stands as a testament to adaptive reuse. The Wohnhaus mit Wasserturm was sold to private owners and transformed into residential apartments. This conversion, completed around spring 2018, marks a first for Leipzig. Four maisonette apartments now occupy the space where a massive 300-cubic-meter water tank once resided. The exterior, with its distinctive yellow clinker facade and roof, retains its historic charm. It provides a unique backdrop for modern living. Inside, the tower has undergone an extensive transformation, with nine levels, staircases, an elevator, and additional windows. The Wohnhaus mit Wasserturm’s rebirth was a costly endeavor. The renovation cost approximately 1.2 million euros, a figure comparable to the conversion of the Markkleeberg water tower. Each of the four maisonette apartments provides a unique living experience. Imagine waking up to breathtaking views of Leipzig’s skyline, enjoying sunsets overlooking the tranquil greenery, or even witnessing fireworks displays from your window. The Wohnhaus mit Wasserturm offers all of this and more.
