Maxwehr Landshut

The Maxwehr stands as a water control facility with a power station operated by the Landshut municipal utilities, generating electricity from the Isar River flow.

The initial structure was built in 1810 by architect Wiebeking, with the current installation dating from the late 19th century and transferred to Landshut utilities in 1930.

The structure, formerly known as Kapuzinerwehr due to its proximity to a Capuchin monastery, represents the engineering heritage of Bavarian water management.

The facility produces 30 million kilowatt hours annually, supplying electrical power to 8,500 households based on average consumption of 3,500 kWh per household.

In 2016, the power station underwent a 750,000 Euro renovation, including updates to walkways, windows, doors, and the generator hall interior.
