The ruins of the Vogelsang power plant are located in the Fürstenberg district of Eisenhüttenstadt. Construction began in 1943 by the Märkisches Elektrizitätswerk (MEW) to supply energy for the wartime economy. Ten power plant blocks, each with an output of 300 MW, were planned, but only a portion was built. The power plant was constructed of reinforced concrete with the involvement of Degussa. Forced laborers, including Jews and Soviet prisoners of war, were primarily employed in its construction. Construction was delayed by air raids and material shortages, and construction was halted on January 31, 1945. After the war, Soviet troops dismantled the equipment. Later, locals used the site as a quarry, and in the 1970s it was used for military exercises. Partial demolition in 1998 was stopped by conservationists. Parts of the plant still stand today, particularly the eastern block with chimneys and the coal crusher house.

Lost Place on the Wayside

The old Vogelsang power plant was built during Hitler's time and never went online.

Unfortunately, it's quite crowded on weekends. Best viewed during the week

Please keep the area clean 👍🏻

A very nice little Christmas market. Clearly laid out and surrounded by beautiful buildings. Pretty little stalls, not overcrowded. A beautiful Christmas tree decorates the middle.

Fürstenberg is a district of Eisenhüttenstadt.

A very nice place for a rest.
