Ruselkraftwerke, Hydroelectric power plant in Bayerischer Wald, Germany

The Ruselkraftwerke power station encompasses multiple turbine units and reservoirs, generating approximately 39 megawatts of electrical power through water management systems.

Built between 1919 and 1920 on the site of an old sawmill, the power plant received its water rights authorization in 1929 after extended construction delays.

The facility represents German industrial development and engineering excellence, serving as the primary power supplier for Deggendorf until 1960.

The power station currently operates with different turbine sets, utilizing water from the Höllbach and Sauloch storage facilities for energy generation.

Since 2019, the facility discontinued its pumped storage operations due to photovoltaic competition, maintaining only the Sauloch stream turbine for run-of-river power generation.
