Kraftwerk Rummelsburg, Power station and cultural heritage monument in Rummelsburg, Germany.
Kraftwerk Rummelsburg is a power station and cultural monument standing along Rummelsburg Bay in the Treptow-Köpenick district. The complex displays early 1900s industrial architecture featuring turbine halls, chimneys, and administrative buildings spread across the waterfront site.
The complex was built in the early 1900s and supplied power to Berlin's expanding districts throughout the 20th century. After energy production ceased, it was transformed into a cultural center while maintaining its industrial character.
The facility functions as a venue for concerts and festivals where musicians from around the world perform and create together. Its converted industrial spaces blend working energy infrastructure with contemporary artistic practice.
Access is generally available through organized tours and during events, as parts of the facility remain operational with safety requirements in place. Visiting during festivals or scheduled tours offers the best experience for learning about the site's working infrastructure.
A historic broadcast studio within the grounds attracted artists and music producers and still serves as a recording space today. Many notable musicians have created sessions and recordings there, giving the site special significance in Berlin's music world.
