The town's landmark is the impressive water tower, which rises a proud 36 meters into the sky. It was originally planned as a town hall tower and was largely built by the hands of French prisoners of war from 1943 to 1944. With its completion, the people of Schwarzheide were happy to see an end to the water shortage that had begun with the construction of the BRABAG housing estates. The Schwarzheide water tower only lost its function from 1958 onwards due to the construction of the Tettau waterworks, the water ring main and the water tower in Lauchhammer-Ost. As a central point of the town, the tower was lovingly restored in 1994 and a modern, beautiful plastic fountain, called “Die Welle” (The Wave), was added to its forecourt.
