context_page_description: The Intze Principle is a name given to two engineering principles, both named after the hydraulic engineer, Otto Intze. In the one case, the Intze Principle relates to a type of water tower; in the other, a type of dam.
context_section_description: A water tower built in accordance with the Intze Principle has a brick shaft on which the water tank sits. The base of the tank is fixed with a ring anchor (Ringanker) made of iron or steel, so that only vertical, not horizontal, forces are transmitted to the tower. Due to the lack of horizontal forces the tower shaft does not need to be quite as solidly built.
  This type of design was used in Germany between 1885 and 1905.
