The water tower, which was built in 1902 and can be seen from afar, consists of sand-lime brick, which the region around Niederlehme is known for quarrying. Until the 1960s it served to supply Niederlehme with drinking water. On the occasion of the Water Tower Festival in 2007, it was open to visitors once. Since then it is still unclear what function he could have in the future.

In order "to show the whole world that the sand-lime bricks formed in Niederlehme (...) can withstand some loads", Robert Guthmann had a water tower made of sand-lime bricks built. The tower was completed in 1902, modeled on Istanbul's Galata Tower, a Christ Tower built in 1348/1349.

The tower is 27 meters high and eight and a half meters thick. Although it has a narrow viewing gallery, it has never been open to the public. Only since the establishment of the water tower festival in 2007 has the building been open to the public once a year.
