Worth seeing, an impressive building!
The Jochenstein power station is a run-of-river power station in the Danube on the German-Austrian border, which derives its name from the nearby Jochenstein rock. The technical facilities are located in the market towns of Untergriesbach (Lower Bavaria) and Engelhartszell (Upper Austria).

For the construction, the Donaukraftwerk Jochenstein AG (DKJ) was founded in 1952 as a stock corporation under German law; this happened immediately after the conclusion of a corresponding government agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria in February 1952. Within six months, a construction plan ready for tender was drawn up by architect Roderich Fick, so that construction work on the main structure and the reservoir of the Jochenstein power station could begin at the end of 1952. Due to the floods in 1954, part of the power station had to be blown up before it could be put into operation.
