The landmark of the place, visible from afar, is the water tower in the southeast on a small elevation. The first plans for the creation of a central water supply began in 1925. The water should be taken from the "Springquelle", which is near the later water tower at the intersection of the streets "Deiweg" and "Am Spring". The construction work for the aqueduct and the water tower began in spring 1928 and was completed in November 1928. The tower is made of bricks and has a height of 29.50 meters (with roof and traffic light).

The landmark of the place, visible from afar, is the water tower in the southeast of the place on a small elevation. The first plans for the creation of a central water supply for the place were made in 1925. The water should be taken from the "Springquelle", which is near the later water tower at the intersection of the streets "Deiweg" and "Am Spring". Investigations of the spring area showed that the water-bearing gravel layer in this area was protected against contamination by surface water and ditch water by an overlying layer of clay about two meters thick; the spring water was also examined by the Braunschweig Food Inspection Agency in 1926 and found to be good. The construction work for the aqueduct and the water tower began in spring 1928 and was completed in November 1928.
The tower is made of bricks and has a height of 29.50 meters (with roof and traffic light). On the ground floor, the tower has an outside diameter of 6.5 meters; it tapers to 5.80 meters up to the upper floor. Inside, the tower is divided into a basement, the ground floor and three upper floors. The mezzanines were used in winter by the local fire brigade to dry their water hoses. The pump system with the supply and discharge lines was housed in the basement. A three-phase motor was used to drive the initially installed two combined suction and pressure pumps, which were operated alternately on a weekly basis. An emergency power generator was installed to ensure the power supply. In the 1930s, the pumps were replaced by two centrifugal pumps with a capacity of 24 m³ / hour each, which were less prone to failure and also worked more quietly.
