    The water tower in Rothenburgsort was designed in 1848 according to plans by Alexis de Chateauneuf (1799–1853) and built by engineer William Lindley (1808–1900). Alexis de Chateauneuf also designed the Alsterarkaden and the Alte Post in downtown Hamburg.

    The water tower is now the symbol of the district. With a height of 64 meters, it is unmistakable. The building is a listed building. The area around the tower is still used by the Hamburg waterworks as a museum (the water forum) and as the headquarters of the waterworks. The tower was built for city water art. It is not a building for an elevated tank like water towers otherwise, but it was used to regulate the pressure. The water was distributed using steam-powered pumps.
