    In 1905 the generator hall of the Niederrheinwerk was put into operation. This was preceded by a dispute with the Thuringian gas company, which supplied Viersen with gas and which saw itself threatened economically by the new form of energy. It was only after the city bought the gas works that the electricity works could come into being.

    The generator hall is built in a style mix of Renaissance and Romanesque, with numerous decorations in a strictly symmetrical structure. The building has been a listed building since 1978 and has been extensively restored since 1981.

    The machine hall was built in 1905 by the Viersen architect Franz Kreutzer. The type of machine hall, located in the middle of the city, was given a particularly representative design.
