Darmstadt Tour... Wasserturm

Next to the hauptbahnhof is the old Darmstadt wasserturm, or 'water tower'. It was originally built in 1910 and then was meant to be demolished in the 1980's, but the public outcry was too great and the city preserved it. It is now used as an art and music studio. Looks pretty cool, kind of hidden back behind the hauptbahnhof where most people can't see it. I don't know what else to say about it other than who other than Germans to make a water tower look so elegant... it gives our American water towers an insecure feeling I think.
