The wooden fire hose tower from 1902, which is a listed building, houses the "Sprüttenhus" and is probably the smallest museum in Germany.

On October 29, 1901, the local committee decided on the construction and its execution based on a drawing, and on July 22, 1902, the finished tower was inspected and accepted by the committee members. It was located right next to the oak tree from 1871, which marked the founding of the German Empire.

In addition to its actual function, the tower also served as a local detention cell for vagrants. However, if the detainees' desire for freedom got the better of them, it was easy for them to dig their way to freedom. As one of the last wooden examples in this region, the Salzhausen hose tower is a listed building. It was completely restored in 1986 and a small exhibition on the history of the fire service was put on in 1988.
