    For the operation of the Kaiserschleuse, which was put into operation in the late summer of 1897, the erection of a powerhouse had become necessary. There was a steam engine, which in turn powered two machines for hydraulics and power generation. The hydraulic power generated in this way was used to operate the sluice gates and other parts, such as pumps and spools, as well as the pressurized water crane on the west pier of Kaiserhafen I, which went into operation in 1899. The electricity generated in the power station fed the electric lighting. Externally, the decorative building was designed in the style of historicism. The two towers with the eye-catching framework took counterweights, which provided the necessary pressure on the pipelines.
