Hirschaid power plant
The Hirschaid power plant in Strullendorf is a run-of-river power plant built in 1922. The power plant is located in the immediate vicinity of the Strullendorf lock on the Main-Danube Canal (at canal km 13.9). [1]

In the upper reaches, a 280 m long power station canal branches off from the Main-Danube Canal to the inlet. Three Francis twin turbines with three generators generate an output of 3.6 MW. The water volume of 50 m³ / s then flows through a 480 m long canal into the deeper Regnitz.

The new Regnitz weir in Neuses, which was built in the course of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal, supplies the Regnitz from Neuses to Hirschaid with water; Water that is not required for the lock in Strullendorf is available to the Hirschaid power plant through the canal discharge. [2]

The hydropower plant currently in operation consists of several buildings and is in the list of architectural monuments of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation. [3]
