"The water supply of the city of Wismar has a long history and generates respect for the engineering masterpiece of past centuries.

The old water tower at Lindengarten from the second half of the 15th century is the last remaining defense tower of the medieval city fortifications. From 1682 it was integrated into the city's water supply network. Until 1897, the tower at Lindengarten fed water into the pipeline network.

The monument was restored between 1994 and 1996. "Source: ostsee.de/wismar/sehenswerte.html

The former defense tower at Lindengarten, together with the water gate, is one of the last remaining parts of the former defense system.

The conversion to a water tower took place as early as 1685 under the instructions of Mayor Anton Scheffel. The tower was now operated by horse power via a treadmill.

During a siege of the city of Wismar, the water tower was connected to the waterworks in the city center by wooden pipes. The water tower was functional until 1873, but then it was replaced by new technology.

Was originally part of the city walls. Then it was decided to use it as a water tower and supply part of the city with it.
