Dampfzentrale

The Dampfzentrale ("steam center") is a cultural centre and music venue and former fossil fuel power plant in Bern, Switzerland. The power plant was built in 1904 by architect Eduard Joos on behalf of the municipal authorities. Its coal boilers were complemented with diesel generators in 1924. In 1939, coal power generation ceased and the 50 meters (160 ft) high chimney was demolished. In 1973, the power plant was shut down and the building was used for storage.
