The Middle Lech hydroelectric power station near the Stadtmetzg in Augsburg is part of the city's extensive historic water system, which has made Augsburg a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This power station harnesses the power of the Lech, one of the three major rivers that run through Augsburg, and follows Augsburg's tradition of water use that dates back to the Middle Ages.

The Middle Lech hydroelectric power station is a technical monument and a functional power station that produces clean energy to this day. Located near the historic Stadtmetzg, it is a symbol of the innovative water art that shaped Augsburg's economic and industrial development. The Stadtmetzg itself benefited from this water system, which was used for hygiene and cooling.

Surrounded by historic buildings and bridges, the power station is a striking example of how Augsburg used its water resources sustainably and creatively. It blends harmoniously into the Old Town and the Lechviertel and shows the close connection between urban development, water management and technological innovation that shaped Augsburg for centuries.
