Description

The Deuben industrial power plant is a lignite-fired power plant in Deuben in the Burgenlandkreis district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The complex is operated as a CHP plant in conjunction with a dust factory and formerly also a briquette factory by Mitteldeutsche Braunkohlengesellschaft mbH. The production facilities process domestic lignite from the Profen opencast mine, which is located about five kilometres to the northeast. According to Greenpeace and the Federal Network Agency, the industrial plant is the oldest active lignite-fired power plant in Germany. Parts of the technology have been in operation since 1936.
Electricity has been generated at the Deuben site for more than 100 years. The beginnings of coal processing even date back to the 19th century. In 1880, the mining entrepreneur Carl Adolf Riebeck opened the Marie lignite mine near Deuben with an adjoining briquette factory. For this purpose, A. Riebeck'sche Montanwerke AG built a first power plant in 1908, consisting of two piston steam engines with flywheel generators and two steam turbines with an output of 2.5 megawatts. From 1912, the plant was expanded to 9.3 megawatts and electricity was also fed into the public grid. In 1934, the Marie mine was shut down and the steam engine power plant was demolished.
