    It's no longer an insider tip, but it's still worth it.

    The Vogelsang power plant is a standard power plant built towards the end of the Second World War. It never went into regular operation and was dismantled after the war as reparations. The building envelope with the two chimneys, each 100 m high, is still preserved.

    The power plant is the only monument to the industrial boom in Fürstenberg (Oder). Almost all other testimonials have disappeared. Only a few residential buildings have survived from the Degussa industrial area.

    This power plant was built from 1943 to 1945 with the help of Jewish and Soviet slave labor. It never went into operation. It was supposed to provide electricity for a chemical factory that was built in Fürstenberg. After the war, the technical installations were transported to the Soviet Union as reparations. The ruin with numerous bullet holes was supposed to be demolished with EU funds, which was probably prevented by conservationists.
