Did you know that this location was built by the famous Siemens & Halske? Back in 1898, it delivered the first electric power to the city. Imagine the trams of Weimar running for the first time, all powered by this plant. Today, it's not just electricity that flows here but culture. These historic walls vibrate with life and creativity, making it a perfect spot to experience both history and modern-day vibrancy.
