The water wheel on the Lederersteg is located between the Dürer Gymnasium and Westbad. The bucket wheel was built in 1999, serves as a visual attraction and feeds the stream of an adventure playground in the Pegnitzgrund.

An old scoop wheel. The design is as simple as it is ingenious. The wheel, equipped with vessels, is set in rotation by the pressure of the flowing water. The vessels fill at the lowest point and then empty into a channel in the upper third, which carries the water further. These wheels were once used for irrigation. Today, unfortunately, they are mostly used as display items.

An interesting construction for scooping up water. By the way, there is an identical copy in Mögeldorf.
