The Harbke power plant was a brown coal power plant in the Helmstedt brown coal district that was put into operation in 1909 on the outskirts of the Harbke community .
From 1915 to 1952 it was operated by the Brunswick coal mines and then nationalized as a state-owned company by the GDR and operated under the name of the Philipp Müller Harbke power plant. It originally had an output of 2 MW , which was doubled to 4 MW in 1912. In 1922 the output of the plant was increased to 40 MW, in 1936 to 183.5 MW. After the Second World War , Soviet dismantling reduced the power to 147.5 MW. On December 27, 1990, the Harbke power plant, which fed into the 110 kV, 55 kV and 15 kV levels, was shut down.
