Das WasserForum öffnet seine Türen

In the organizer's words:

An event as part of #seeforfree.

The WasserForum opens its doors! Visit the former pump house of the Stadtwasserkunst Rothenburgsort, the origin of HAMBURG WASSER. The Stadtwasserkunst, opened in 1848, was built by William Lindley.

The special thing about the opening on Open Monument Day is that the pump house is usually only accessible as part of closed group tours. On October 31, you have the opportunity to visit the WaterForum individually, independently of a guided tour and without prior registration.

The exhibition in the pump house is all about Hamburg's water - from the water supply since 1842 to today's extraction and treatment of groundwater and wastewater disposal.

Children can also set a water cycle in motion with pumps and learn about their own role in this cycle.

A film about the laying of the culvert in 1964 and the film "Water for Millions" from 1949 will also be shown.

Please note: An identity card or passport must be presented to gain access. The pump house is located on the HAMBURG WASSER site. Access is via the reception at Billhorner Deich 2, 20539 Hamburg-Rothenburgsort.

Registration: Prior registration is not required.

Costs: Visiting the WaterForum is free of charge.

Address: Billhorner Deich 2, 20539 Hamburg. The WasserForum does not have parking spaces; public parking is available at Billhorner Deich. Please arrive by bicycle (parking is also only available on the street) or by public transport.
