Scharnhorst substation, Electrical substation and architectural heritage monument in Wedding, Germany.
The Scharnhorst substation combines a steel skeleton structure with yellow clinker bricks, featuring triangular pillars and a circular glass extension on the roof.
Built between 1927 and 1929 by architect Hans Müller for BEWAG, the substation managed street lighting across Berlin through its rooftop control room.
The building incorporates Brandenburg brick Gothic architecture with modernist elements, representing the industrial development of Berlin in the early 1900s.
Located at Sellerstraße 16-26 in Berlin-Mitte, the former power distribution center now serves as a customer service center for Vattenfall.
The substation features an advanced lighting control system from the 1920s that adjusted street illumination based on natural light conditions.
