At the northern end of the park, the technical achievement of the 19th century found its way into the Babelsberg park with the construction of the steam engine house. According to plans by Ludwig Persius, it was built in the years 1843–1845 together with the installation of an irrigation system under the direction of Moritz Gottgetreu. [3] The typical Persius construction of connecting simple cubic structures is complemented by battlements, turrets and bay windows. This decoration gives the building a "Norman" character and is reflected in the architectural style of the dairy in the New Garden, which Persius also expanded during these years. The boiler and machine rooms, a workshop and the machine master’s apartment were located in the basement. Count von Pückler, the court marshal of Prince Wilhelm I.
The water supply adversities that Lenné had to contend with were now resolved. Prince Pückler-Muskau's garden design benefited from the new technology. The first fountain system was inaugurated in May 1845. With the addition of a new machine hall in 1865, steam power of 65 hp was available for irrigation of the park. The 40 meter high fountain, which shot up from the Havel like a geyser, was a special spectacle. After the construction of another round water basin on the hill, now called the eight pool, the park received an adequate water supply.
