Goldenberg power station

Goldenberg Power Station is a heat-only boiler facility in Hürth featuring multiple cooling towers spread across an industrial complex. The site displays typical features of early industrial energy production with substantial brick structures and industrial machinery buildings.

The facility began operations in 1914 to serve the region's expanding industries with power. After operating for over a century, it ceased functioning in 2015 and now stands as a preserved industrial monument.

The power station represents the industrial development of the region, preserving the architectural elements of early energy production facilities in Germany.

The station is located at Goldenbergstraße 2 in Hürth and can be visited as an industrial heritage site. Plan your visit during daylight hours and wear suitable shoes since the grounds are uneven and contain industrial structures.

The site contains a former air-raid shelter tower that once provided protection during wartime. This structure reveals how industrial facilities served dual purposes beyond energy production during the 20th century.
