history
Electricity Association Gröba
On December 29, 1909, the founding meeting of the municipal association of the authorities in Grossenhain and Meißen (both in Dresden ) and Oschatz (in Leipzig ) took place. In 1910 the Amtshauptmannschaft Döbeln (District Headquarters Leipzig) joined. The association's administrative headquarters were on the manor Gröba near Riesa , the administrative building there was designed by the Dresden architect Martin Hammitzsch . In June 1910, the Saxon Ministry of the Interior approved the association's statutes with the condition that an expert be appointed to build the utility company. Thereupon the electrical engineer Wilhelm Kübler was commissioned with the conception by the Technical University of Dresden . The construction of our own power plant was temporarily postponed in negotiations with the Lauchhammerwerke. Instead, an electricity supply contract was signed with Lauchhammerwerke for a term of 40 years. The first 100,000 volt line in Europe was installed for this delivery. It ran over 55 km from the Lauchhammer power station via Gröditz to Gröba and was the property of the Lauchhammer works. The Gröba Electricity Association (EV Gröba) then built a 60 kV ring line from Gröba via Schweta , Naundorf near Leisnig, Etzdorf , Deutschebora , Strießen near Großenhain to Gröditz with a total length of approx. 120 km. In the substations, transformers converted the voltage from 60 kV to 15 kV.
In 1920 the community association Elektrizitätswerk Niederlößnitz joined with its electricity works in Lößnitzgrund, which had already joined the special purpose association "Vorortammelschiene" in the same year . The area supplied increased by the area of the association, and the electrical connection of the Loessnitzbahn was added.
The Groeba Electricity Association built a new administration building in Niederlößnitz in 1924, and the Gröba settlement was also built to accommodate employees.
By 1926, the area served expanded to include the communities of Boxdorf , Coswig , Dippelsdorf - Buchholz , Eisenberg - Moritzburg , Kötitz , Reichenberg , Wahnsdorf and Wilschdorf . In 1928 the Etzdorf substation fell asleep in the nearby 100 kV Dresden-Hirschfelde line. For this purpose, a 100 kV system was installed outdoors for the first time. In 1928/29 the substation No. 11 was built at Meißner Straße 177, in front of which two civil servants' houses were built in addition to the residential buildings on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz .
During the GDR era, the electricity association became part of the VEB Energiekombinat Ost .
Administration building
In 1924, the Gröba Electricity Association applied for the construction of a new administration building, the design of which came from the architect Otto Rometsch . Six fluted pilasters and a flight of stairs over the entire width of the central risalite were not made from this design . The building was completed in 1925, and on December 1, 1925, approval was given for the elevator to go into operation.
The garage was built in 1929. In 1934 the high turret with dome burned down and was not replaced. The company archive was also destroyed in this fire.
After the Second World War, the building became the seat of the Soviet command, later the seat of VEB Energiebau . After several years of vacancy after reunification and extensive renovation, a senior citizens' residence opened there in 2001.
