    The waterworks was built in 1885. Other sources cite the year 1881, which may indicate the beginning of planning. The planning was carried out by the Dresden engineer Bernhard Salbach, and construction began in 1885 under the supervision of Director Wolff. Initially, the suction and pressure lines, the engine house, the suction tank located in the courtyard of the plant, and the water tower on the Kleiner Strohberg were built. The engine hall is 15 meters long. The waterworks opened on March 12, 1886. Before the plant was put into operation, the city's water supply was ensured by private and public wells. With the construction of the waterworks, drinking water was piped from the Brühl site to the plant in clay pipes. From there, the water was pumped into the elevated tank on the Strohberg. From there, the city was supplied with water at night when the plant's pumps were switched off. The municipal pipe network initially covered 19 kilometers.

        The hydroelectric power station in Quedlinburg is an architectural gem located on the Bode River and has played an important role in the region's electricity supply since it was commissioned in 1922. It was built in the style of early industrial architecture, with particular attention being paid to harmonious integration into the natural environment. The historic power station uses the water power of the Bode and is an impressive example of environmentally friendly energy generation at that time. Today, the hydroelectric power station is not only a technical monument, but also a popular destination for visitors interested in engineering and historical buildings. It symbolizes the successful combination of technology, nature and aesthetics in the city of Quedlinburg.
