Penstocks of a hydroelectric power station, 1937

A lattice pylon carries power lines above a wooded slope down which a bundle of great riveted pipes descends; a nearer view shows the pipes emerging from a concrete anchor block, and finally they run beside a long hall with rows of tall windows, a stone bridge beyond. The installation resembles the Walchensee power station at Kochel, which Oskar von Miller built in the 1920s to feed the Bavarian grid, but the archive record gives no place.
