This is actually a repost/redo of my first 28DL report from 2020. It disappeared a few years ago when a bunch of reports got lost, so I'm posting it again since it was my first report and, in fact, my first proper power station. Plus now that the power station has been razed to the ground I can...

The History: Vockerode/Elbe Power Plant was a lignite and later a gas-fired power plant in Vockerode, East Germany. It was built in 1937 and shut-down between 1994 and 1998. After being the site of a power plant for almost 60 years, in 2001 its four chimneys were demolished although much of the...

Today's subject is a power plant somewhere in Germany. I've known about it for a while - the photos have been going around since 2021/2022 - but I had no idea where it was, apart from "somewhere in Germany". One of my friends got some very approximate info about the location. I wasn't planning...

A vintage power station from our January trip to Austria and Slovenia. We saw some pictures pop up last October and December and our friend had the coordinates along with an entry that was two years old at the time. So we made a small detour on a cold rainy winter day. The screw factory was...

Back in September I did a big roadtrip in the Brandenburg region of Germany (around Berlin) with two non-forum friends. It was our first time going on a dedicated urbex trip abroad and getting a hire car, although after some last-minute planning we managed it. Alongside some industrial ruins, we...

Kraftwerk P was a lignite-fired power plant built in 1926 to produce power for the local coal mines. At the time it was one of the most modern power plants in Europe. At the end of WW2, the plant closed down for four weeks until the Soviets took over and put it back into use again. In 1992...

So I finally got to do some exploring this summer holidays. We planned to explore power stations in western Germany, but my friend I usually do explores with had too much work and not enough time. Ultimately, I had to settle for cleaning up my Eastern Germany catalog, which worked out quite...

An abandoned power plant in Germany. I've had this location on my map for about three years but had only one chance to explore it on a weekday and unfortunately, the site was crawling with workers. Then the location popped up on a forum so we planned to visit it for around two years and this...

We've visited this location two times in 2019. Our first visit was a blind visit, having seen a few photos and going in not knowing anything about possible entries. So we spent about half an hour sneaking around the building and trying to find a way inside, being successful in the end and not...

History The first power plant on the site was built in 1960, with a second unit following in 1971. The plant produced about 2 billion kWh of electricity per year. The units are equipped with one of boilers being supplied mainly with coal and it's by-products. It was licensed to incinerate...

History: Just before the second world war the construction of this power plant started, the plan was to make a brand new modern station to deliver power to this heavily industrialized area which was growing rapidly. When it got finished it unfortunately couldn't be opened due to the approaching...

Heyyyyy 28 sauce, Andy here.... Here's an aerial view I stole from the Internets This was a weird one! It's essentially 3 separate power plants, interconnected via a network of conveyors from the shared coal yard. We had checked it out late one night, only to be thwarted by a security guy...

History The first power station on the site, Frimmersdorf 1 was constructed in 1926 with a capacity of 10MW, later increased to 26MW in 1936. This was mostly demolished in 1964 with the construction of Frimmersdorf 2. construction of the second power station began in 1954 with the first two...

Visited in July 2017, this is a lovely 1950s brick cathedral type power station in Germany. The boiler house has been demolished leaving just the turbine hall. However it is packed full of lovely original features such as the complete boiler control room, turbine control room, a MAN 150T crane...
