The former, historic run-of-river power plant in Marbach am Neckar (often also referred to as the "Old Power Plant") is an important monument of German industrial history. Built around 1899 by the city of Stuttgart, the power plant originally served to supply the state capital with three-phase power. It was shut down in 1938 during the canalization of the Neckar, as it was deprived of water due to the relocation of the riverbed.
