History and technology

The forerunners of today's power plant consisted of a grain mill that had existed on the site since 1400. The mill was expanded in 1907 by a Francis turbine and in 1950 by a Kaplan shaft turbine for power generation. The mill operation was stopped in 1970.

The power plant is designed as a diversion power plant with a 130 m long return channel. The nominal flow rate is 19.29 m³ / s and the head is 2.2 m. According to the EEG system register, the output is 2 × 160 kW.

The power plant has a weir and a trash rack cleaning system. As a fish protection, a 273 m long connecting water was completed on the left bank of the Neckar in December 2006. There is also an eel hatch .
