The Wasserturm, also known as the Götzenturm, served as a power base for the von Röthelstein clan in the city of Hainburg from which they could exercise control over their considerable possessions, fishing grounds and trade on the Danube. The von Röthelsteins also owned a substantial 12th century fortress two kilometres downstream of Hainburg. The octagonal Götzenturm dates from around the middle of the 13th century and forms the north east corner of Hainburg’s city walls. The tower’s design suggests that it also functioned as a dwelling.
Wasserturm (Water Tower), an octagonal tower built next to the Kapellbrücke in Lucerne. Built ca. 1300 before the Kapellbrücke. It was intended as a defensive tower facing Lake Lucerne and has been a prison, archive and gift shop.
"Adjoining the Kapell-Brücke, in the river, rises the old Wasserthurm, containing the Municipal Archives. According to tradition, the building was once a lighthouse (lucerna) and gave its name to the town".--Baedeker 1903
