The first plan to build a water tower in the city on the Elbe dates back to 1905. Further unsuccessful attempts followed in 1914 and 1921, so that the population continued to rely on public and private wells. In 1924, however, a hot summer caused a number of wells to dry out and examination of the remaining ones revealed that they were of inferior quality and did not meet hygienic requirements. The magistrate then made the decision on September 14, 1925 to create a central water supply, which the city council finally approved on September 26, 1926.[2]
