    The hydroelectric power plant next to König-Karl-Straße was built in 1906 on the site where a sawmill previously used the river water. The former half-timbered building was later replaced by a new building. Today only the name reminds us of Bismarck Island. The once open inlet channel to the small hydroelectric power station is now covered.

    Text on the information board at the E-Werk:
    The system of the Bismarck Island is separated from the Enz by the covered Enz Canal. At its northern end there is a turbine house for the power station, which is still used to generate electricity using hydropower.

    🟦17. Small power plant and Bismarck Island
    At the north end of Bismarck Island there is a turbine house of the
    electricity plant, in which electricity is still generated using hydropower.
    The Bismarck Island is a green area separated from the Enz by the covered Enz canal.
    In the immediate vicinity you will come across the Cogolin Stone, which commemorates the intensive partnership that has existed since 1981 between Bad Wildbad and the small French town of Cogolin/Var near St. Tropez.
