Schilling Power Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schilling Power Station was an oil-fired power station in the proximity of the nuclear power station at Stade. It went into operation in 1962 and has now been shut down. Since it principally served Hamburg north for the electricity supply of Hamburg and fed its current into the transformer station, the first overhead line crossing of the Elbe was built at that time at Stade, the Elbe Crossing 1. The buildings still exist today and are occasionally used for disaster control exercises.
The chimney, with a height of 722 feet or 220 metres, is among the tallest structures in Germany.
