Kraftwerk Hirschfelde, Technical heritage monument in Zittau, Germany.

The Kraftwerk Hirschfelde power station features a brick construction with multiple exhibition halls displaying industrial machinery and electrical equipment from different periods.

Established in 1929, the power plant operated for 81 years until 1992, generating 71.3 million MWh of energy and employing approximately 5,000 workers throughout its lifetime.

The facility preserves numerous operational exhibits, including turbines from 1922 and 1929, control systems, and a steam engine from 1907, illustrating industrial development.

Located at Straße zum Kraftwerk 3c in Zittau, the technical museum opens every Thursday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM throughout the year.

During the German Democratic Republic period, the facility obtained coal from the adjacent Turów mine in Poland and carried the designation Kraftwerk Friedensgrenze.
