Built in brick in 1890/1990 in the style of a late medieval defense tower, it was formerly used to fill up the water boilers of the steam locomotives. Above a high, slender truncated cone, the circular upper floor is made of steel framework, with a flat conical roof and a conical attachment.
Diameter: below 5m above 7m
Use: vacant
State of construction: good, but in need of renovation in the roof area, windows and doors would have to be replaced.
Unfortunately, since the decommissioning of the conspicuous red brick tower, no purpose or user has been found. The repeated re-glazing of the windows was again and again the target for wanton destruction by children and young people.
The water tower, formerly a necessary functional building for the water supply of the steam locomotives. Since 1987, however, useless intended for disposal. For Uhsmannsdorf as a landmark it is definitely worth preserving and viewed from the outside it is a very durable building. Addressed by the cone-shaped design up to the approach of the water tank. A blunt cone with a zinc tip and a large ball as the roof. The station water tower, landmark of Uhsmandorf from the south-west, the red brick shell erected around the turn of the century has an attractive shape (type for the time of origin) it used to have a curved pointed roof, which was badly damaged in a storm in August 1962. The shape of the water tower is unparalleled in a wide area, i.e. the tower at the goods station in Horka is lower, more squat and not as effective, probably older. Roughly comparable to the significantly higher municipal water tower in Forst N/L and to the Berlin water tower.
