To secure the water supply in the Rhine-Selz region, the “Rhine-Selz Region Water Association” was founded in 1905. Due to the favorable local conditions, the necessary water extraction and supply was to be carried out from Guntersblum. It was therefore decided to build a waterworks with pumping facilities on site. Construction began in May 1906, and after a relatively short construction period, the facility was inaugurated in October 1907. The waterworks was built from red Palatinate sandstone in a Baroque Art Nouveau style and has remained largely unchanged to this day. The waterworks has been expanded several times over the years and is still in operation. It can only be visited as part of a guided tour. Today, it is owned by “Wasserversorgung Rheinhessen GmbH.” The waterworks is located directly on Kreisstraße 35 to Gimbsheim.
