    The waterworks in Queckborn was opened in 1894 and was needed to supply drinking water to the growing population of Giessen. The waterworks includes the single-storey brick building and an extension, which was only built later. The operation was initially started with two steam boilers, a pair of pumps and a well, so that 3000m³ of water could be pumped daily. Since then, the waterworks has been expanded to include several wells and also modernized. The waterworks is well preserved and is still used today to supply the population of Giessen with drinking water. It is a listed building for technical and historical reasons.
