The electricity plant (in short: E-Werk ) in the Mecklenburg town of Neustadt-Glewe is a run-of-river power plant on a right branch of the river Elde . Until the 1980s, diesel generators were also used to generate electricity. The power station with machine house, administration building and half-timbered shed is a listed building.
The E-Werk is located in the city center of Neustadt-Glewes between the Old Castle and the New Castle , near the federal highway 191 that runs through the city .
history
The first distribution system for electrical power existed in Neustadt-Glewe before the power plant was built in 1896/97.
The power station was built on the foundations of a watermill that burned down in 1918 and started operations in 1922. The operator of the combined diesel and hydropower plant was Mecklenburgisch-Schwerinschen Landes-Elektrizitätswerke (LEW). The output of the two water turbines was around 120 kilowatts . Four former submarine diesel engines were also available, and two more diesel units were added in 1925. Together, the installed capacity was a multiple of the capacity of the water turbines. The tower of the E-Werk was used as a fuel storage. The diesel engines were dismantled as reparations at the end of 1945 and brought to the Soviet Union . In 1961 the diesel power plant went back online. Before that, in 1956, another power plant, the Lewitzschleuse hydropower plant in the north of Neustadt-Glewes, went into operation. The diesel engines in the inner city power station were removed in the 1980s. From the beginning three-phase current was generated for the comprehensive high-voltage network.
In 1998, WEMAG sold the power plant together with the hydropower plant at the Lewitz lock to a private operator. The vacant factory hall is rented out, including a local party club that organizes events here about five times a year.
