Leipheim water tower

The tower was renamed the water tower at the beginning of the last century when the house and court wells were given up and a water cooperative was founded in 1902. The goal: to tap the springs on the slope of the Danube, to pump them up into the city and from there to pipe them into the houses via a network of pipes. Therefore, between 1907 and 1908, the tower was converted into a water reservoir. A floor was placed on top of the defense tower, which until 1964 contained a concrete tank for approx. 80 cubic meters of water. A water attendant checked the water level three times a day using an externally mounted level indicator
