The Borkum water tower, built in 1900, was an important pillar of the drinking water supply on the island of Borkum for decades. The water tower was shut down in 1970 when the company switched to modern pump technology.

This is the 23 mtr. high, old "Watertoorn" anno 1900. Since this water tower was no longer sufficient due to the increased water consumption (tourism, etc.), new techniques were necessary and the Watertoorn over time unnecessary.

It is a listed building and fortunately the association "Watertoorn Börkum e.V. is committed to the preservation and restoration of the area, and much praise for this effort, it would be a shame if this beautiful and historic tower were to collapse.
