The landmark of the place, visible from afar, is the water tower in the southeast on a small elevation. The first plans for the creation of a central water supply began in 1925. The water should be taken from the "Springquelle", which is near the later water tower at the intersection of the streets "Deiweg" and "Am Spring". The construction work for the aqueduct and the water tower began in spring 1928 and was completed in November 1928. The tower is made of bricks and has a height of 29.50 meters (with roof and traffic light).

The water tower was built in 1928 and was responsible for the water supply in Lobmachtersen until it was closed in 1982. The steel container has a capacity of 100 m³. It could be filled using two centrifugal pumps with an output of 24 m³/h each. A separate emergency generator ensured operation in the event of a power failure in the local network.
