River Views #295: Southwards 40


Only a few dozen meters away is the Wasserbahnhof, where the cruise ships of the Weisse Flotte are at home. This one is named after our city and is one of the three ships that travel between Mülheim and Essen-Kettwig – and sometimes even further.

Mülheim’s historic water power station, the Wasserkraftwerk Kahlenberg, from the South side. This is the river intake, the machinery on the outside is for sifting debris and dirt from the water before it goes into the turbines. This power station has been in operation almost continuously since 1928.

There was some building going on slightly South of the Kassenbergbrücke –
there used to be a row of houses before in that space.
