This Frau Harke waymarker is called Flying Frau Harke or Earth Mother. Frau Harke is the patron saint of the Elbe-Havel region. She watched over people, animals, and nature. According to legend, this was Frau Harke's starting and landing point, as she took flight at the summer solstice to survey her realm from high above – sometimes carried by a magnificent team of four swans. Frau Harke waymarkers can be found quite frequently in the Elbe-Havel region. Each one is uniquely designed and has its own story.

The water tower is located in Havelberg's cathedral district and can be reached from the cathedral in just a few minutes on foot. It was built from red bricks in 1890 and rebuilt in 1933. Above the entrance, in addition to these dates, you can find Havelberg's coat of arms. Since the entry into force of the Saxony-Anhalt Monument Protection Act on October 21, 1991, it has been officially registered as a cultural monument. Originally, the tower served as a water reservoir for the city. In the early 2000s, the water supply was converted to deep wells and pumping systems, which led to the reservoir being taken out of service. Today, a restaurant (tower café and bistro) is located directly next to the tower, while the tower itself is no longer used for any functional purpose.
