history
In 1895, the Pönitzsch mill, first mentioned in 1538 as the Carlowitz mill, was opened by the Elektrizitätswerke, vorm. OL Kummer & Co. (Niedersedlitz) built a power station. From 1896 two steam engines with 250 hp each ran there , each operating a single-phase alternating current generator with 170 kW output. This supplied the lighting for the surrounding communities of Oberlößnitz , Niederlößnitz , Alt-Radebeul , Serkowitz and a small part of Kötzschenbroda . The plant was supplied with coal from 1896 to 1928 via the rail connection to the narrow-gauge Lößnitzgrundbahn at kilometer 2.84.
In order to be able to ensure the supply of not only the night lighting, the output was doubled in 1899, and with the changeover to full-day operation, the supply of the Lößnitzbahn , the overland tram between the tram transfer point Mickten and Kötzschenbroda , could be built up.
In 1901 the Kummer-Werke filed for bankruptcy . Thereupon, in 1902, at the instigation of the parish councils Max Herz von Niederlößnitz and Robert Werner von Radebeul, an association of the municipalities of Niederlößnitz, Oberlößnitz, Radebeul and Serkowitz took over the plant, which was henceforth operated as the Niederlößnitz power station (community association) .
In 1903 the Ziller brothers built the new administration building ( House A ), and the production facilities were also expanded. The changeover from 2000 volt single-phase alternating current to 10 kV three-phase current took place. This increased the area supplied to the area between Sörnewitz and Klotzsche including the entire Lößnitz . Between 1905 and 1916, the Dresden - Cossebaude tram on the left Elbe was also supplied via an Elbe cable .
The municipal association Elektrizitätswerk Niederlößnitz joined the "Vorortsammelschiene" association in 1920 . In the same year it joined the Gröba electricity association . The Kötitz substation was built for connection to its 60 kV network . As a result of joining, the Gröba Electricity Association moved its headquarters to Niederlößnitz in 1924.
In 1928, the power station was shut down, the systems mothballed and a transformer station was built on the site. After the Second World War, the power plants went back into operation until they had to be shut down in 1962 for reasons of profitability. During this time, coal was again supplied via the adjacent narrow-gauge railway. This required up to five freight train journeys a day. With the final cessation of power plant operations, the rail connection to the Lößnitzgrundbahn was also broken off.
The buildings were completely renovated in 1991 and were used by ENSO Strom AG until 1998 . In addition, the Radebeul eV tradition railway has its club headquarters here. Later the area at Lößnitzgrundstrasse 46/48 to 60/62 was rented to third parties and used for the Karl May Festival, among other things. In February 2019, the city of Radebeul bought the area for further use.

description
The complex consists of four buildings, of which house A can be found at Lößnitzgrundstraße 46, while houses B, C and D belong to address 48. All buildings are under monument protection .
House A
The administration building House A , built in 1903 by the Ziller brothers instead of the old Pönitzschmühle, is a two- to three-storey building with a crooked hip roof on one side facing the street due to its hillside location . In front of the right side of the eaves, facing the inner courtyard, there is a central projection with a hood with a lantern . On the opposite side of the eaves is a gable with a crooked hip. At the back of the building, facing the Lößnitzbach , hangs a wooden balcony with a curved roof in the gable, and a two-storey extension is located below in front of the building.
The building is simply plastered and structured by sandstones, all three gables show half-timbering. While the roof is covered by roof tiles, the hood is slated.
House B.
House B , built around 1910, is an elongated factory building with two to three storeys due to the hillside location along Lößnitzgrundstrasse. In the street view, there is a risalit with a triangular gable in the middle, in the gable of which there is a cartridge with a lightning symbol. On the ridge of the flat hipped roof there is a round tower with a conical base, above it a projecting window storey and a conical dome.
The plastering is differentiated, the edges of the building are emphasized by pilaster strips . The windows are framed by concrete walls.
On the back of the building, facing the river, there are two halls with flat gable roofs , built together on the eaves , and a tall chimney made of different colored bricks.
