The cemetery is dominated by the water tower towering at the end of the main axis behind the new chapel. It was built during the First World War and only later integrated into the cemetery area through the addition of cemetery extensions. After the Second World War, the water tower was empty for many years and was used as a storage room.

The water tower Steglitz stands in the cemetery Steglitz, in the mountain road. At the time of its construction, the water tower stood on the Rauhen Mountains on the edge of the cemetery and was later surrounded by it by the expansion of the same.

Hiking

In the middle of the 19th century, the population of Berlin and its suburbs still got their water from draw wells and hand wells. This changed when the Prussian government hired British specialists in 1852: "Fox & Crampton" took over. In the following years, Berlin received an efficient supply with waterworks, pipeline systems and water towers.
