The striking tower is located opposite the Emden train station on Abdenastraße.
The 42 m high tower was built between 1910 and 1912 to supply the city with water. Today it is owned by Stadtwerke Emden and is still used as a water reservoir.
The 1,000 m³ water reservoir at the top of the tower is supported by 10 reinforced concrete pillars, which are connected to each other by cross braces. The pillars in turn stand on a foundation of 260 piles with a length of 15 m.
Since the groundwater in the urban area of Emden is saline due to its proximity to the North Sea, a waterworks was built in the village of Tergast, more than 11 km away, between 1896 and 1897, the water from which is routed to Emden via a pipe system. The water is pumped from a freshwater lens by means of deep wells.

The Emden water tower is on Abdenastraße near today's main train station.
The building from 1910 to 1912 is owned by Stadtwerke Emden and is still in operation.
At 42 meters high, it towers over most of the city's buildings and is an important example of a technical structure from the beginning of the 20th century in Emden.
The water tower has been a listed building since 1999.
