    A former wind turbine (test facility) with a so-called Darrieus rotor with a vertical axis of rotation.

    In 1989, this two-wing facility was built by the Dornier works and the Flender shipyard. It has a diameter of 15 m, a mast height of 25 m and an installed capacity of around 55 kW at a nominal wind speed of 11.5 m/s. The annual yield was only around 24,500 kWh. In 2000, the plant was shut down after frequent repairs.
