The river power plant Beim Preußischen is a run-of-river power plant in the city of Rottenburg am Neckar and uses the water of the river of the same name . It is named after the restaurant Zum Preußischen , which is located directly next to the power plant.
History and technology
The commissioning by the Rottenburg am Neckar public utility took place in April 1991 after old weir systems were demolished at the same location in the 1970s . The construction costs amounted to around 17.5 million German marks (adjusted for inflation, this corresponds to around 14.4 million euros today). The two Kaplan-bulb turbines generate a flow of each of 13 m³ / s, and a drop height of 5.30 m in each case an electric power of 494 kW . The power plant only uses a small part of the water in the Neckar. The weir is designed for a design flood of 640 m³ / s and has two fields with a total width of approx. 42 m. There is an approximately 50 m long maintenance tunnel under the machine house and the weir. To ensure the passage for fish and other aquatic life, a fish ladder and an eel hatch were built from natural stones . The weir system also forms the pillars for a bridge on the Upper Neckar Railway from Tübingen to Horb .
