After the First World War, supplying water to the steam locomotives in Neustadt (Dosse) must have become difficult. The twelve-meter-high water tower near the station building, with its 100-cubic-meter tanks, had long since become too small for the station's rapidly growing needs. In Neustadt, the main Berlin-Hamburg line met with the branch to Pritzwalk and the then privately operated Brandenburg City Railway (to Rathenow) and Ruppiner Railway (to Neuruppin). Freight traffic also played a major role. Above all, however, the German Reichsbahn, founded in 1920, relied on larger locomotives with a corresponding "thirst" on the main routes, including the Class 01 express steam locomotive and the Class 44 freight locomotive. The water, which was usually stored in towers in the lowlands, therefore had to reach the locomotives with the necessary pressure and relatively quickly. Therefore, in 1924/25, the Reichsbahn had a new water tower built on what is now Köritzer Strasse in Neustadt. With a total height of 35 meters and a tank capacity of 300 cubic meters, it was significantly taller than the previous building. The tower was probably shut down around 1990. For years, Ingo and Bianca Zander from the antiques shop in Segeletz tried to acquire the unusual six-story property in order to refurbish it and use it as living space, among other things. This was reported by the Märkische Allgemeine on October 7, 2015. In 2014, the tower, along with the neighboring carpentry shop and a "tower guard building," were finally purchased. The following year, it was partially renovated, and above all, given a new roof. The 1.70 meter high spire was also replaced, which had been lying on the roof, tipped over - because the copper component had once been hit with more than 20 bullet holes, causing water to run into the structure.
