The standard power plants were built from 1943 in the German Reich. Due to the requirements of the war, there was an increased need for electrical energy. Therefore, a number of identical power plants should be built. Construction began here in April 1943, but the lignite-fired power plant was never completed.

The existing systems were dismantled after the war and taken to the Soviet Union. Only the shell remains. This was used by the police, combat groups and civil defense as a training ground.

A demolition could be prevented by nature conservationists in 1998, since a valuable biotope had developed in the meantime in the area.

Ruins of the Vogelsang Power Plant

Highlight • Historical Site

It's no longer an insider tip, but it's still worth it.

The Vogelsang power plant is a standard power plant built towards the end of the Second World War. It never went into regular operation and was dismantled after the war as reparations. The building envelope with the two chimneys, each 100 m high, is still preserved.

The power plant is the only monument to the industrial boom in Fürstenberg (Oder). Almost all other testimonials have disappeared. Only a few residential buildings have survived from the Degussa industrial area.
