Saalachkraftwerk Bad Reichenhall, Run-of-river power station in Bad Reichenhall, Germany.

The Saalachkraftwerk power station spans across the Saalach River, featuring five Francis twin turbines that generate hydroelectric power for the region.

Built between 1910 and 1913, this power station was designed to supply electricity for the newly electrified railway lines connecting Freilassing to Bad Reichenhall and Berchtesgaden.

The power station represents early 20th-century industrial engineering in Bavaria, with its structures demonstrating the period's architectural and technical achievements.

The facility produces approximately 40 million kilowatt-hours annually, providing both railway power and alternating current to Bad Reichenhall's municipal utilities.

The power station's dam system raises the Saalach River water level by 9.6 meters through various construction methods designed for optimal water flow management.
