Drei Drachen vor dem Wasserturm
43,5 Meter ist es hoch, das Wahrzeichen von Jügesheim. Erbaut wurde das Industriedenkmal 1938. Der Hochbehälter des Turmes fasst 400 m³ Wasser. Bedingt durch stärkere Pumpen der Wasserwerke wurde der Turm 1979 stillgelegt. Das Gelände um den Turm ist heute ein beliebter Anziehungspunkt für Erholungssuchende. Im Halbkreis um einen Brunnen stehen fünf Stelen, symbolisch für die fünf Rodgauer Stadtteile. Auf dreien sitzen kupferne Drachen, für die Elemente Feuer, Erde, und Luft. Hergestellt wurden die Figuren aus dem Kupfer ausgemusterter Kupferrohre.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
