    Old mill tower at the intersection Mühlenstraße / Zum Mühlendriesch.
    By 1920, the majority of the population had public wells. Some houses also had private wells
    In 1910, the community of Merzenich acquired the ruins of the mill tower.
    In the aftermath of the tower is provided in the course of expansion of the water network with a high tank and rebuilt the water tower.
    The water supply was put into operation in 1912.
    The water tower could reliably serve as part of the water supply of Merzenich.
    Bearing in mind its importance as a technical monument, the municipality of Merzenich, supported by the state conservator, had the water tower renovated in the years 1976-1977. On this occasion, the weathervane, the slate roof and the wood paneling of the high tank were renewed and the brick masonry newly grouted.
    At the foot of the tower was a green area.

      Funny as a water tower in baroque forms.
      In any case, you can avoid the heavy traffic on the Kölner Landstrasse, which has no bike lanes in the direction of Düren, if you choose Merzenicher Strasse past the water tower.
