    Because the tower reminded the Wuppertaler of the can of ATA scouring powder, it is so called.

      There used to be a scouring cream called "Ata," which was sold in a square bottle. In Wuppertal poetry, the square water tower high on the Katernberg was named after the "Döschen." Dat (Wuppertal Low German for "that") Ata-Dösken is located on private property and cannot be entered.

        The "water tower at the Pfaffenhaus" was built in 1927. Seven years earlier, Henkel launched the scouring agent Ata, whose packaging resembled the water tower.
