The Steglitz water tower is located in the Steglitz cemetery on Bergstrasse. At the time of its construction, the water tower stood on the rough mountains on the edge of the cemetery and was later enclosed by it due to the expansion of the same.

The cemetery is dominated by the water tower towering at the end of the main axis behind the new chapel. It was built during the First World War and only later integrated into the cemetery area through the addition of cemetery extensions. After the Second World War, the water tower was empty for many years and was used as a storage room.

In the middle of the 19th century, the population of Berlin and its suburbs still got their water from draw wells and hand wells. This changed when the Prussian government hired British specialists in 1852: "Fox & Crampton" took over. In the following years, Berlin received an efficient supply with waterworks, pipeline systems and water towers.
