The Heegermühle power plant (sometimes also called Finow power plant ) is a decommissioned power plant on the Finow Canal in Eberswalde , Finow- Heegermühle district, in Brandenburg .
history
Planning and construction
The Heegermühle overland center was built in 1909, financed by the Berlin AEG and the Zürcher Elektrobank . The power plant was the supply base and nucleus of the newly founded Märkisches Electricitätswerk (MEW) , later the largest energy supply company in the market. The region should be electrified from here; In particular, it was hoped that energy-intensive industries would settle along the newly built Oder-Havel Canal .
The plant was planned by Georg Klingenberg , Director at AEG; the architectural design came from Werner Issel . With the power plant, which - unusual for the time - was designed as a rigid frame construction, the planners implemented an innovative concept for the first time in which the structure and arrangement of the buildings were strictly based on the technical function. This concept was applied to numerous other power plants built by AEG and others over the next few years. The Heegermühle power plant was thus a model for power plant architecture at home and abroad.
business
The plant started with three steam boilers that supplied two steam turbines with 3.6 megawatts each. The output was quickly expanded: in 1912 to 15.2 MW; 1916 to 19.2 MW. The coal was delivered via a connection to the Eberswalde-Finowfurt railway .
After the Second World War, the MEW became the Brandenburgisch-Mecklenburgische Elektrizitätswerke AG (BMEW) , which shortly afterwards became the GDR state enterprise Energiegebiet Nord . This resulted in the VEB Energieversorgung in 1958 and, some time later, an energy combine that ran the power plant. After the "Wende", the former MEW with the Heegermühle power plant came under the administration of the Treuhandanstalt and was sold to PreussenElektra , which eventually became E.DIS .
The power station came into the hands of Stadtwerke Eberswalde , later the city's own technical works in Eberswalde .
Shutdown and decay
In 1991 the power plant was finally shut down. The ruin is a listed building ; but is noticeably deteriorating. The boiler house had to be demolished in 2006/2007 . It is uncertain whether at least the historical machine and control hall can be preserved because of the enormous costs of a renovation. The power plant is to be integrated into the ERDF project “Experience the Finow Canal” industrial culture path.
