The application to build a new water tower was submitted in 1925, presumably due to fluctuations in pressure and supply, on behalf of the then owner Johannes Schwartz, general director of the German Mining Company in Berlin. Already
A year later, the tower, built on an artificial hill in the southwestern edge of the Sallgast manor park, was completed.
The supply pressure, which was achieved by a reinforced concrete elevated tank with an inner diameter of 6 m and a usable height of 8 m, was sufficient for the castle and the town of Sallgast. In the 1960s, a pressure boosting station was set up at the base of the tower to provide support. In the mid-1990s, both facilities were no longer needed, among other things due to new technical systems. In 2001, the Lausitz Water Association sold the water tower to the municipality of Sallgast. In 2002 the pressure boosting station became private property. The plastered solid building with sprinkles (boulders, brick) in the style of a medieval defensive tower with a curved hood has a hunting room and a room above the elevated tank, probably a utility room. They can be reached via an external staircase that leads perpendicular to the tower and is bordered on one side by a multi-stepped wall.
In 2004, the roof and facade, windows and external stairs of the listed water tower were repaired

The water tower is hidden in the forest.

The green classroom, it says on a fence poster. At least it seems to have been a class trip destination with a nature trail, the current purpose is not very clear.
