Water Management System of Augsburg

World Heritage

Germany

🎧 Listen to Introduction

The city of Augsburg's water management system evolved through several stages from the 14th century to the present day. It includes a network of canals, water towers built between the 15th and 17th centuries that housed pumps, a water-cooled butcher's hall, a system of three monumental fountains, and hydroelectric power stations that still provide sustainable energy today. The technical innovations that resulted from this water management system helped make Augsburg a pioneer in hydraulic engineering.
