The weir system, turbine hall and guard house of this power plant have been preserved to this day largely as they were built in 1903/04. The turbine hall with its Art Nouveau façade is protected as a technical monument and the wrought iron fittings on its entrance door show how elaborately industrial buildings were designed at that time.

The former mill, which operated here until the beginning of the 20th century, was demolished to make way for a hydroelectric power plant to supply the Heringen mine with electricity.

The Art Nouveau facade of the turbine hall and the entrance door with its wrought-iron fittings demonstrate the elaborate design even of utilitarian buildings.

The turbine hall—like the entire complex with its weir—is a protected technical monument.

The power plant is one of four between Harnrode and Widdershausen built to supply electricity to the mines.
