Ludwig Persius built the Court Gardener's and Machine House between 1836 and 1838 for the earliest large steam engine plant in Potsdam after the Peacock Island for operating water features. The building is Persius' first independent construction and at the same time one of his major works.

The court gardener and machine house was built by Ludwig Persius in 1836-38 for the first large steam engine plant in Potsdam after the Peacock Island to operate water features. For static reasons, the new water tower was founded separately and structurally connected via a candle arch to the court gardener's house, which was created as a conversion of the brick master's house. At the foot of the tower is the engine house, whose steam engine pumped Havel water both into the tower reservoir and into the park. The steam engine came from the production of the Egells company. It would be an important technical document today, but it was stolen after World War II
