Water tower built by Burger master mason Gustav Ortloff from red brick. The water tank has a volume of approx. 400 m3. The tower stands at the highest point of the city. The tower now houses exhibitions on the industrial history of the city, agriculture and gardening.

The water tower is beautifully built from red brick and can be seen quite early in the day. There are regular exhibitions in the tower.
