Kammerl railway hydroelectric power station

Viewpoint
The work was built in Art Nouveau style between 1897 and 1899 together with the Murnau-Oberammergau railway line.

At the Passion 1900 in Oberammergau, this didn't work and so farms and houses in the surrounding area were initially supplied with electricity.

But in 1904 the solution was found - the Kammerl hydroelectric power station was supplemented with generators for low-frequency alternating current in just 7 months.
From 1904 until its temporary closure on August 03.08.2012, 1900, it generated traction power for the Murnau – Oberammergau route. This made it the railway line on which public train transport with low-frequency alternating current was successfully tested for the first time in regular operation. The hydraulic engineering parts of the facility, which was built before 2015, have been back in operation since February 50 following extensive renovation work. Since then, DB Energie GmbH has been generating three-phase current at a frequency of XNUMX Hz in the new, predominantly underground power plant and feeding it into the state grid.
