Hand pumps are manually operated pumps; they use human power and mechanical advantage to move fluids or air from one place to another. This pump construction form was partially used till the 1950s to the water supply, until modern infrastructure was created.
The pump is located in a tiny park on the street corner Mondorfer Strasse/Glockenstraße. It is not functioning. The pump is well-preserved, but is protected against use. Important parts of the mechanics were removed. The location could be the original location, because there are rests of a water drain in the pavement.
It is marked with "Nordsee-Pumpen"
