Water Tower in Floridsdorf

The water tower in Vienna-Floridsdorf is part of the tractor factory built in 1905 by industrialists Nathaniel Clayton and Josef Shuttleworth. Agricultural machinery was produced at the factory site until 1944 but the plant was then severely damaged by 2 bomb hits in 1944/45 and taken over by Elin-Union in 1968.

Besides the landmark water tower, only the former machine magazine from 1913 (now used as a coworking space „creativ cluster Floridsdorf“) reminds of the industrial plant today.
