The water tower was built in 1915-1916 by the construction company Dykerhoff & Widmann AG (Dresden branch) as a service water storage facility and to stabilize the water pressure of the then Deutsche Celluloid-Fabrik, later Eilenburger Chemiewerk (ECW). The tower had three water tanks with a capacity of 1 × 1500 m³ and 2 × 500 m³. The tower was completed in 1916, and later rectification systems were installed in the tower shaft, which extracted the water from the technical alcohol used in drying processes. The water tower was first renovated in 1950.
