The Muffatwerk is a privately operated cultural center and hydropower plant in the Haidhausen district of Munich . The managing directors are Dietmar Lupfer and Christian Waggershauser. Historically, a steam power plant was housed in the building next to the hydroelectric power plant .

In 2006 Evan Parker's Transatlantic Art Ensemble recorded the live album Boustrophedon in the cultural center .
history
The Munich city architect Franz Karl Muffat , next to his brother Karl August patron of Muffatwerkes, built in 1837 to supply water to a Haidhausen Brunnhaus at the Auer mill on the then so-called lime kiln island . In 1867 a machine house with a steam engine was added. After the installation of the water pipeline from the Mangfall Valley , the waterworks was closed in 1883. The Muffatbrunnhaus was converted into a power station, which was called the Muffatwerk and was initially used to supply the new electrical street lighting. Both the older Brunnhaus in classical style, as well as the later part of Carl Hocheder to the north with the hall and the chimney in Art Nouveau built on the base of the water tower are under monument protection. When it went into operation in 1893, the Muffatwerk consisted of a Jonval turbine with 147 kW and a steam engine with 220 kW; In 1912 the power was 1400 kW, of which 1320 kW were generated by steam and 80 kW from hydropower. The boiler house was last enlarged in 1936. In 1973 the power plant was shut down and from 1992 it was converted for the current cultural use. The Muffathalle opened in 1993, the beer garden in 2002. The Club Ampere was completed in 2005, together with some backstage rooms and the renovation of the entire facility.
Today the Auer Mühlbach meets the factory premises with an approximately four meter high waterfall. There it drives a Kaplan turbine and generates 250 kilowatts of electricity in a generator. Then it flows under the building.
Buildings erected together with the Muffatwerk
A villa was built right next door for the power plant director; the design also comes from Hocheder. The cable bridge , which leads from the Muffatwerk to the Praterinsel in the Isar , was built in 1898 to supply the city lighting with the cables inside. From the Praterinsel, the Mariannenbrücke leads to the left bank of the Isar opposite the Muffatwerk.
