The water tower is one of the landmarks of Groß-Gerau. Construction of the tower began in 1928 on the site of the Groß-Gerau waterworks that had been built at the time. To commemorate the withdrawal of the French occupation troops from the Mainz bridgehead and the entire Rhineland (Zone III) on June 30, 1930, the tower, which was inaugurated in the same year, was given the name "Hindenburg Liberation Tower". However, this term is no longer used.
To improve the water supply for the population in Groß-Gerau, an elevated water tank was required for the water supply network. In 1927, an agreement was reached with the surrounding communities on the goal and statute for the water supply. The water tower survived the Second World War with only minor damage. The construction of the water tower began in 1928.
The 45 meter high tower was put into operation in 1929 but inaugurated later. The building in the simple shape of a cylinder has viewing platforms that allow a wide view over the Groß-Gerau region. Because of its height, the tower has an elevator. The capacity of the elevated tank was 500 cubic meters and was used both to store water and to produce constant water pressure.
The water tower has been renovated for rental use. Today, in addition to business premises, there are also apartments in it.
