The Lübbenau power plant was a lignite power plant with an installed capacity of 1.3 GW , which was operated from 1959 to 1996 in the city of Lübbenau / Spreewald in what is today the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district in southern Brandenburg .
history
The foundation stone for a mill foundation in Plant I was laid on October 23, 1957. The first of seven chimneys with a height of 140 m was completed in 1958. A year later, the power plant was operational and connected to the power grid . The construction of all seven chimneys was completed in 1960. A total of three power plant blocks were built: Plant I (6 × 50 MW), Plant II (6 × 100 MW) and Plant III (4 × 100 MW). The power plant construction, the planning and execution of which had been the responsibility of VEB BMK Coal and Energy since 1959 , was completed in 1964. The total output was 1.3 GW and the Lübbenau power plant was thus the largest steam power plant in Europe at the time .
Together with the Vetschau power plant (1.2 GW) that was built in the neighboring area at the same time (1964 to 1996) , the Lübbenau power plant formed the VEB Lübbenau-Vetschau power plant in the VE Kombinat lignite power plants . After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991, the power plant became the property of Vereinigte Energiewerke AG .
Plant I went offline in 1994 and the entire power plant was shut down in 1996. Between 1996 and 2010 all chimneys and the main buildings of plants I – III were blown up.
