The former village water pump on Heribertstrasse

The Heribertstrasse water pump is located in Eschweiler above Feld , a district of the Nörvenich municipality in the Düren district , North Rhine-Westphalia, in front of the Heribertstrasse 13 house.

The cast iron water pump , a reciprocating piston pump , dates from the 19th century. The pouring tube originally had the shape of a lion's head with a fluted shaft. It is no longer there.

Until the water pipeline network was laid, the drinking water had to be fetched from the residents. Today the pump no longer works and is only used as a memento of the past.

On March 11, 1985, the pump was entered in the monument list of the municipality of Nörvenich under no.
