    The Cuxhaven water tower in Cuxhaven, Bahnhofstraße 11, today e.g. with apartments, is under monument protection in Lower Saxony and is included in the list of monuments in Cuxhaven.

    A cholera epidemic in Hamburg in 1892 with 8,605 deaths prompted the city of Hamburg in 1896 to set up a central water supply with a water tower in the Ritzebüttel district, in Cuxhaven and in Döse in order to prevent infectious diseases and to supply the ships in the port.

    The water tower was put into operation in 1897 and was an important part of the city's water supply. The tower is 35 meters high and holds a total of 400 cubic meters of water. In 2004 the water tower, one of Cuxhaven's landmarks, was taken out of service. Instead, four apartments were built on the round base.
