The water tower, which was built in 1902 and can be seen from afar, consists of sand-lime brick, which the region around Niederlehme is known for quarrying. Until the 1960s it served to supply Niederlehme with drinking water. On the occasion of the Water Tower Festival in 2007, it was open to visitors once. Since then it is still unclear what function he could have in the future.

To show "to all the world that the sand-lime bricks formed in Niederlehme (...) endure some stress," Robert Guthmann had a water tower built of sand-lime bricks. The tower was completed in 1902 after the model of the Istanbul Galata Tower, a Christ tower from the years 1348/1349. The tower is 27 meters high and 8.50 meters thick. A multi-level conical roof forms the upper end. Although it has a narrow viewing gallery, it was never open to the public. Only since the establishment of the Water Tower Festival 2007, the structure is open once a year for inspection

In order to “show the whole world that the limestone blocks formed in Niederlehme (…) can withstand some loads”, Robert Guthmann had a water tower made of sandstone blocks. The tower was completed in 1902, modeled on the Istanbul Galata Tower, a Christ tower from 1348/1349. The tower is 27 meters high and 8.50 meters thick. Although it has a narrow viewing gallery, it was never open to the public. Only since the establishment of the Water Tower Festival in 2007 has the building been open for inspection once a year.
