History and stories
Visible from afar, the water house from 1905, built in Art Nouveau style, reflects the self-image of the time. William II strove for the great power, rearmed, annexed land overseas and built. The buildings always represented the thinking of the time and their rulers; so also our water house, although actually uninteresting to represent. In the 1960s, a new building area was developed, the pressure was no longer sufficient and it was shut down. The preservation is due to the private initiative of the former pharmacist Hilgert, to whom the water house also belongs.
