Kahlenberg power station
Kahlenberg power station, Run-of-the-river power station in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
The Kahlenberg power station stands at an elevation of 36.87 meters along the sluice canal between Dohneinsel and the Mülheim Ruhr lock.
Construction of the power station began in 1924 to supply energy to Styrum and Dohne waterworks during coal shortages after World War I.
The facility, designed by architects Arthur Pfeifer and Hans Großmann using Ruhrsandstein, received architectural heritage monument status in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1990.
The power station generates 20 million kWh annually through Francis double chamber and Kaplan turbines, providing electricity to local water treatment facilities.
A former turbine chamber was converted into a fish elevator system in 1998, supporting the nationwide program for fish migration in flowing waters.
