    The wind turbine was built in 2015, has an output of 2.3 MW, is approx. 120 m high and has a rotor diameter of 71 meters. With over 5 million kWh of electricity generated annually, around 2,000 households can be supplied with electricity.

    In October 2015, a new wind turbine was put into operation on the summit plateau of Hornisgrinde, the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest. This is the highest wind turbine in Germany.
    The new wind turbine replaces three smaller wind turbines that were put into operation in 1994. There is an information board about the Hornisgrinde wind farm at the nearby Bismarck Tower. Accordingly, the three wind turbines were the first wind farm in Baden-Württemberg in 1994 and the highest wind farm in Europe.

      The wind turbine is impressive. The view of the Rhine plain and as far as Elsas is even more so.
