Built between 1884 and 1889, the Köthen water tower is now a historical monument. The huge structure made of yellow clinker bricks has a height of 33 m and a circumference of 46 m.
As a testament to the emergence of central water supply in the cities of the Wilhelminian era, the water tower was able to fully begin work in 1890. With its completion, a storage tank for drinking water and a way to equalize the water pressure in the pipe network were created.
