LVR-Industriemuseum Kraftwerk Ermen & Engels

About

At first glance it seems as if time has stood still: the massive greywacke buildings of the former Ermen & Engels power plant still line the former factory courtyard. Even the chimney of the steam engine house still exists. And over the railroad tracks leading from the nearby train station to the square, a freight train with a delivery of cotton could soon arrive at the Old Cotton Warehouse. But no thread has been spun here for a long time. Today, the entire grounds of the old cotton spinning mill and the Ermen & Engels hydroelectric power plant are listed as historical monuments.
