history

South side with anti-nuclear poem

The baker's art mill , a successor to the oldest documented mill in Munich , stood on the site of today's power station . In the 1960s it was shut down and demolished.

In 1986, master mechanic Günter Tremmel leased part of the mill's property from the city and built a run-of-river power plant with two turbines on it in 1987 and 1988 . It delivers an average of 138 kW electrical power.

Tremmel saw the construction of the power station less as an economic investment and more as a call for a change in energy policy. After the Chernobyl disaster , the public awareness of the danger of nuclear power plants returned and alternatives were sought.

The following verses are attached to the south wall of the power plant as an expression of the intention of the builder:

“The water ran inactive - and nobody paid any attention to it.
Here water power was forgotten because one was obsessed with nuclear power.
What can destroy man's proud madness in nature
. In the future, reason should guide us.
Don't forget our water power and let us preserve it -
the ancients warned that. "
