    Late classicist tower of the new water art of the city of Altenburg, built according to the design of the Altenburg master builder Wagenbreth. Technical structure based on Italian tower buildings of the Renaissance.
    As early as 1538, the previous building was made of stone with wooden superstructures and extensions for the pumping station.
    The tower was used to supply the city with water until 1878.

    The so-called "Art Tower" was built in 1844 in the style of the Italian Renaissance according to plans by the Altenburg master builder Wilhelm Wagenbreth as urban water art. There was a previous building at this point as early as 1538. The tower is about 44 meters high. When the city's water supply system was converted in 1878, operations ceased and the tower was used for other purposes.
