Alfred Nobel Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The power plant, equipped with steam turbines, was functionally connected to heating blocks and fired steam and hot water for technological needs, housing needs and rail transport. The thermal power plant group consisted of two double blocks separated by a railway track and a common fuel storage facility. Both complexes differed in the construction of chimney systems and fuel transport facilities for chute silos above the furnace hall. In the first building there are solid brick stacks and the coal from the warehouse was transported via a ramp from which a conveyor with a bucket was mounted. The second block reserve was equipped with two telescopic steel chimneys, and the fuel supply was carried out using carriages suspended on the guides on the roof of the transport ramp.

Abandoned Nitrocellulose Station of Alfred Nobel AG

Highlight • Historical Site

All the signs said it was a hotel on the former complex of Alfred Nobel's explosives factory.
Based on the construction and the shape of the holes in the floor, I can't imagine that.

Silos of the Alfred Nobel Plant (Krzystkowice)

Highlight • Monument

The buildings were wholly or partially surrounded by earthen walls intended to protect against the impact of a blast wave from the outside or to suppress the blast wave inside. The distinctive feature was a massive reinforced concrete skeleton and light "blow-out windows" In the event of an explosion, the brick bulkhead was intended to shatter and be thrown out of the object. The most dangerous semi-finished products were stored in huge stable concrete cylinders several floors high, the walls were 1-2 m thick and reinforced with additional internal ribs and external pillars, while the light roofs were made of planks. Three such cylinders, apparently intended for use with nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose, were also sprayed with earth. The use of silos is still a mystery. Different sources reflect different uses.

Silos at DAG Alfred Nobel Krzystkowice

Highlight • Historical Site

Interesting reading. However, not everything is explained, and there isn't much information available online. Questions remain. 🤔

Dynamit Nobel AG Silos Krzystkowice

Highlight • Monument

Dynamit Nobel AG from World War II:

The six visible silos of the former dynamite factory of the Dynamit Aktien-Gesellschaft Alfred Nobel (DAG) resemble rocket shafts.

The largest munitions factory of the Nazi regime was located in Christianstadt (Krzystkowice) on the Bober River.

The cylindrical design was presumably intended to allow pressure to escape upwards in the event of an explosion, thus minimizing the risk of injury in the immediate vicinity of the silo. Some of the silos are filled with sand, presumably for counterpressure and camouflage.
