The tower was part of the first Rheinbach water and electricity works, which went into operation in 1897. The central plant replaced the mobile water barrels previously used, with which the residents were supplied decentrally from six public wells (using manually operated water pumps).

Until 1969, the water tower was still used by the Rheinbach fire brigade as a hose maintenance facility. (Info: Chronicle of the Rheinbach fire brigade)
