The former Munich-Sendling thermal power station was built in the early 1960s on Drygalski-Allee in Munich- Obersendling . This fossil fuel based power plant was developed as a gas experimental power plant. The power plant was supposed to supply the surrounding district with heat and electrical energy using minimized line losses. Today it is an industrial building that is mainly used commercially.

history

At the time of completion at the end of 1962, the gas turbine cogeneration plant was the most modern system of Stadtwerke-Elektrizitätswerke Munich and its conception was unique in Germany . It was a versatile heating and peak load power plant based on natural gas with a heating and electricity supply without mutual dependency. The equipment of the power plant included the first gas turbine built by Siemens AG . The thermal circuit allows the waste heat from the gas turbine set that occurs during the generation of electricity to be used as thermal heat independently of the need for electrical energy by switching on displacement accumulators . On the other hand, the heating could be generated independently of the turbine operation via additional burners and fed into the district heating network either directly or via the heat storage on the site at a separate time. If the gas supply failed, there was an option to switch over to operation with oil. The concept was created at the same time as the emergence of civilian nuclear energy, conceptually as a counter-model to the emerging nuclear power plants .

business

During the operation there were explosions with subsequent fires in 1962 and later in 1994. The 1994 accident led to the cessation of operations and thus to the end of the building as a power plant.

Re-use

In 2010, the dismantling and renovation work began at the same time as the acquisition of the building by Kerscher Immobilien Holding GmbH from Graefelfing and thus a new section of use of the building. The building, which consists mainly of steel and reinforced concrete , has an architecturally unusually large volume of space for its second use phase after power plant operation, which was originally planned and dimensioned according to purely technical and functional aspects for power plant operation, for example for channeling air masses. In order to prevent damage to buildings during the operation of the power plant, beams and ceiling thicknesses were made very solid in some areas. Since during the renovation work, care was taken to preserve the industrial character of the building, these dimensions, which are unusual for a purely commercial use, can now be seen impressively in many places in the building structure. Inside the tower, for example, after the machine components were removed, the dominant steel structure, now equipped with enormous load reserves, was retained as a load-bearing element. The base area of ​​the building has been used as an exhibition and sales area of ​​a Munich furniture store since 2014. Furthermore, office space and apartments were created in the tower of the building.

architecture

The power plant is essentially composed of three parts: a wide, three-story base, a seven-story tower and two chimneys that make it visible from afar. The building with a size of approx. 3500 m² and a height of 46 m has a supporting structure made of reinforced concrete. The outer walls are made of masonry and were originally provided with light surfaces made of glass blocks. For stiffening, the glass blocks were given joint reinforcement made of steel inserts. The basement and ground floor ceiling are also made of reinforced concrete. The building was accessed through two fire-resistant stairwells. The interior work and the supporting structures of the intermediate landings were mainly made of steel.
