It is located west of Eilsleben on a hill immediately south of the former railway line Eilsleben–Schöningen, at kilometer stone 173.0. The property is designated as Flur 4, Flurstück 31. A little further west of the tower flows the Aller River. In this direction, there are also other buildings that originally belonged to the tower.
The water tower was constructed between 1869 and 1872 as a water supply for the railway maintenance facility in Eilsleben. Due to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, there was a construction interruption of the project. Its height is 24 meters. At the top of the tower, there is a water tank four meters high with a diameter of eight meters, which could hold 200 m³ of water. The diameter of the tower is ten meters at a height of five meters. The tower, built of bricks, rests on a base made of rubble stones. The tower is covered by a wooden roof structure.
