The tower was built in 1908/09 by the then Wissersheim-Rath waterworks, which was run by the Nörvenich community until 2008. In 1989 the former water tower was acquired by the sculptor Günter Thelen, who set up his apartment and studio there.

After the groundwater had been lowered to such an extent very early on by the nearby lignite opencast mine that extraction was impossible, Rheinbraun supplied so-called "substitute water" from the waterworks in Dirmerzheim. Since January 8, 2012, drinking water has been supplied by the water supply association of the Neffel Valley communities in Vettweiß.
