The so-called "Art Tower" was built in 1844 in the style of the Italian Renaissance according to plans by the Altenburg master builder Wilhelm Wagenbreth as urban water art. There was a previous building at this point as early as 1538. The tower is about 44 meters high. When the city's water supply system was converted in 1878, operations ceased and the tower was used for other purposes.
