Power plant Lübbenau

The Lübbenau power plant was a lignite-fired power plant with an installed capacity of 1.3 GW, which was operated from 1959 to 1996 in the town of Lübbenau/Spreewald in what is now the district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz in southern Brandenburg.
The foundation stone for a mill foundation in Plant I was laid on October 23, 1957. The first of seven chimneys, with a height of 140 m, was completed in 1958. One year later, the power plant was ready for operation and was connected to the power grid. The construction of all seven chimneys was completed in 1960. A total of three power plant blocks were built: Plant I, Plant II, and Plant III. The construction of the power plant, the planning and execution of which had been the responsibility of the VEB BMK Coal and Energy since 1959, was completed in 1964. The total capacity was 1.3 GW, making the Lübbenau power plant the largest steam power plant in Europe at that time.
