Building

The 33 m high round tower stands on a polygonal base. Plastered pilasters structure the brickwork of the shaft. Windows are set into the fields between the pilasters on four sides. The steel water tank is located at the top. It has a capacity of 500 m³ and is now clearly visible. It was originally covered with plaster. A tent roof tops the building.

Original use

The tower was built in 1908 by the architect Köhler on behalf of the Grand Ducal Railway Directorate. It served to supply water to the steam locomotives and later also supplied water for the hydrants at Oldenburg Central Station. The water tank was not filled with drinking water, but with water from the Hunte. The water quality was sufficient for the purposes.
