    The water tower was built in 1898 to maintain a certain water pressure in Steele. In 1984, the water tower became redundant, as the water supply in Essen was reorganized.

    Today, there is a small kiosk on the ground floor, among other things.

    This old pretty water tower stands in the middle of the residential area and in turn now seems to offer shelter itself. Great relic from times gone by.

    Due to mining, the groundwater level dropped more and more in the 19th century, so that wells and springs for the water supply of the rapidly growing population were insufficient. In 1898, the water tower was put into operation together with a new pumping station on the banks of the Ruhr and the water was distributed in a pipeline network in Steele, Frillendorf, Schonnebeck and Stoppenbeck.
