Wertach Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The Wertach power station is a hydroelectric power station in Augsburg, located at Schießstättenstrasse 19, right next to the Gollwitzersteg. This pedestrian bridge connects the Rosenau and Thelottviertel districts with Pfersee-Süd.

The power station was built in 1920/1921 by the city of Augsburg to ensure the energy supply for the Augsburg tram. At the same time, the Wertach canal was built, which served both to regulate flooding and to generate energy.

Architecturally, the power station is characterized by a hipped roof building with an L-shaped floor plan. Particularly noteworthy is the building inscription embedded in the facade, which shows a griffin with a pine cone and the year 1921.

Technically, the power station was originally equipped with Francis twin turbines, which enabled a throughput of 1.25 m³/s at a head of 4 meters. The output generated was 460 kW. The generators came from Siemens-Schuckertwerke. Over time, modernizations were carried out to increase efficiency and meet current requirements.

Today, the Wertach power plant is an important industrial and architectural monument and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Augsburg Water Management System”. It is an example of the historical and sustainable use of hydropower in Augsburg.

The Gollwitzersteg in the immediate vicinity allows pedestrians a direct connection between the districts and offers a view of the historic power plant and the Wertach.
