About this location
Old pumping station ca. 1870 idyllically situated at the foot of the Eilsleben water tower, directly on the Aller.
The old pumping station has the charm of a secluded park paired with the old water pumping equipment.
Three cycle and hiking trails cross the site.
The activities
Children's playground, ropeway, tree swings, fire pit and barbecue available. Cycling and hiking trails through the Aller meadows. Distance to the next village with shopping facilities and train station 1 km.
Other things
The plant also included four deep wells, two surface water collection basins, a building for pumps and a building for the pump station attendant and his family. The system was constantly operated and maintained by the pump attendant. Water was pumped from the pumping station into the reservoir of the water tower. Water was supplied from this reservoir via large cast-iron pipes at high pressure for the three water cranes used to refuel steam locomotives in Eilsleben. A water crane could deliver 10 m³ of water per minute and a locomotive could be completely refilled in around three minutes. The tower's total water supply was sufficient for around five to seven locomotives. The system also included a float that closed a valve when the elevated tank was completely full and prevented any further water from flowing in. There was also an overflow that led outside at the foot of the tower. The tower could also be completely emptied via another valve. In later times, the pump house was also used to chlorinate the drinking water for the railroad workers' houses. *Wikipedia
