The Dresden-Reick thermal power station is a thermal power station operated by DREWAG in the Reick district of Dresden . It was built in the 1970s in connection with the major construction project in Leuben , in which 3500 prefabricated apartments were built in a very short time . The Reicker cogeneration plant served to supply the new apartments and went into operation in 1976.

The power plant's chimney, which was renovated in 2008–2011, was 200 meters high and was the second tallest structure in Dresden after the television tower . It was dismantled from late summer 2017 to June 2018, replacing two smaller, almost 50-meter-high steel chimneys. The reason for dismantling the chimney was that the power plant had to be in operation for at least 8 hours a day in order to avoid moisture damage to the oversized chimney.

  • The chimney was the second tallest structure in Dresden after the television tower. (June 30, 2017)

  • Preparation of the demolition, small excavator with a jackhammer stands on the elevator platform (23 August 2017)

  • Remote-controlled spider excavator attached with jackhammer (November 29, 2017)

  • Close-up of remote controlled spider excavator with jackhammer (November 29, 2017)

  • From approx. 50 meters, a six-ton demolition cutter was used on a crane boom, but this cost too much time (March 24, 2018)

  • Work of the demolition cutter (March 24, 2018)

  • Spider crane on a crane boom for the last few meters, next to the two new 50 meter high chimneys (June 18, 2018)

  • Close up of remote controlled spider crane (June 18, 2018)
