Städtisches Elektrizitätswerk
Städtisches Elektrizitätswerk, Former electrical power station in Schwerin, Germany
The Städtisches Elektrizitätswerk is a former power station in Schwerin built with brick in a neo-Gothic style. The complex includes an administrative section and a machine hall located close to Pfaffenteich lake.
The facility began supplying power to the city in 1904 using a direct current system initially. Operations continued until 1969, shaping the early development of electric power in Schwerin.
The building now hosts theater productions and cultural events that draw audiences regularly. It has become an important gathering place for those interested in the arts in the city.
The building is easily reached from Pfaffenteich lake and sits centrally in Schwerin. Visitors can view the exterior anytime, while interior events happen at specific times.
The generators ran on gas motors without chimneys to avoid disrupting the city's appearance. This solution allowed a modern industrial facility to fit naturally into the urban setting.
