Rottweil power station, Event venue in Rottweil, Germany.

Rottweil power station is a 1915/1916 industrial building designed by Paul Bonatz for the Rottweil powder factory. Behind the machine hall with its external staircase follow the boiler house with two flanking chimneys, then the coal silos; the two chimneys, originally 90 m tall, were shortened by 15 m in 2005. The turbine hall keeps its ceiling crane and a ten-metre marble switchboard.

Paul Bonatz designed the plant in November 1915, and it was built in one year at a cost of 1.1 million marks. It supplied the Rottweil powder factory, later a rayon factory and at times the town itself, until closure in 1976. The boilers were replaced from 1935, a high-voltage switch house was added in 1951, and oil firing followed in the 1960s.

The former workshop building now houses the CaféBar Eden, whose 160 m² interior opens onto the outdoors through glass-and-steel gates. Outside stand one of the two 75-metre chimneys, restored gas pipes and a limestone wall; the water boilers remain in their original state and parts of the walls are left unfinished.

The Turbinensaal is reached by the outdoor Freitreppe; the adjoining Traforaum serves as its stage. The former workshop building now houses the CaféBar Eden, whose 160 m² interior opens to the outside through glass-and-steel gates. There, next to one of the two 75 m chimneys, stand restored gas pipes and a limestone wall.

The Kolossaal occupies the former boiler house, a hall measuring 34 by 36 metres. The original boilers still stand inside it, and a large stage has been installed in the adjoining former coal bunker.
