Water House
Built in 1905 in the Art Nouveau style for the water supply of Westhofen.

History and Stories
Prominently visible, the water house from 1905, built in the Art Nouveau style, reflects the self-understanding of that era. Wilhelm II aspired to great power, rearmed, annexed land overseas, and constructed. The buildings always represented the thoughts of their respective time and their rulers; so does our water house, although it is actually of little interest for representation. In the 1960s, a new building area was developed, the pressure was no longer sufficient, and it was decommissioned. Its preservation is thanks to the private initiative of the former pharmacist Hilgert, to whom the water house also belongs.
