Exhibition Pavilion Kraftwerk 1898

The exhibition pavilion 'Kraftwerk 1898' shows the pioneering spirit and the founding spirit of the late nineteenth century. It is located near the site of the old hydropower plant Rheinfelden - which was one of the oldest hydroelectric power plants in Europe. The heart of the interactive exhibition is the 'Machine 10' from 1898.
Visitors learn more about:
- the construction of the old hydropower plant Rheinfelden
- the technology of electricity
- the meaning for Rheinfelden Baden
- the importance of the power plant for Switzerland

The oldest river power plant in Europe (1898) had to give way to a new one. I was allowed to visit it when I was at school. If at all possible, take the time to visit the small museum on the site of the old power station as a reminiscence of the historic building.

Unfortunately, the exhibition pavilion is only open on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
In addition, there are different opening times in the summer and winter months.
