The water tower on Gutenbergstrasse was the first in the city to be inaugurated in 1877. A waterworks on Kempener Allee pumped the water through nine wells and pumped it into the water tower to a height of almost 36 meters using steam power. It was stored in the flat-bottomed tank that was common at the time, which held around 1600 cubic meters, but required a strong and expensive support structure. The walls erected for this purpose reached a thickness of two meters on the ground floor. The water stored in this way was used for storage and to compensate for fluctuations in consumption, but could also be used to supply fire-fighting water.
