Kraftwerk Eitting

Kraftwerk Eitting is a hydroelectric facility on the Mittlere-Isar Canal that generates power from flowing water to supply the regional grid. The complex consists of several protected buildings, including a porter's lodge and water structures, all part of the designated heritage ensemble.

The facility was built in 1925 and marked the start of industrial hydroelectric power generation in the Erding district of Upper Bavaria. This development was part of a broader effort to tap water resources for regional electricity supply.

The power station reflects German industrial design from the 1920s and is protected as a historical monument in Bavaria. The buildings shape how the local landscape looks and tell the story of a time when people were finding new ways to produce energy.

The facility is located on Am Moosrain street and is currently operated by Uniper Kraftwerke. Visitors should know that this is an active industrial site under heritage protection, so it can only be viewed from the outside.

Beyond the main power station, the site includes a protected porter's lodge and water structures that together form a complete facility from its founding era. These buildings still show how such power plants were originally organized with all the functions needed to operate them.
