E-Werk Straßenbahndepot, Historical electricity plant and theatre venue in Weimar, Germany.
The E-Werk Straßenbahndepot is a power generation and tram depot complex in Weimar featuring expansive halls, wooden cooling towers, and preserved maintenance equipment. The facility displays the spatial layout and technical systems of an early industrial factory ensemble.
The plant was built in 1897 and began supplying electricity to Weimar in 1898 under Siemens & Halske management. From 1899 onward, it powered the city's streetcar network.
The space now hosts theatrical productions and art installations that engage with its industrial past. Visitors experience how a former production facility has transformed into a place for artistic expression.
The site is open to visitors for guided tours, theatrical performances, and exhibitions. Check the current schedule ahead of your visit, as the space alternates between different events and art installations.
The building preserves three original gas generators with air heaters and washers, demonstrating early 20th-century electricity generation for streetcars. These machines are rare examples of pioneering power technology.
