Stumbling from the darkness, eyes becoming once again accustomed to daylight, wondering, where if anywhere, there is to go now, has the luck run out? Am I about to be nabbed by Falkenservice Security?

That might have looked easy, but it wasn't, the damn bloody window kept swinging closed every time my back nudged it, as once again headfirst onto a less than forgiving concrete floor.

Somehow just following my nose I found myself at the business end of the power plant

HISTORY​

At the time it was built, in 1926, the plant was one of the largest burners of lignite coal in europe. It continued to expand up until the second world war.

At the end of hostilities the plant closed for a short period until the Soviets put it back into use, it continued to generate electricity up until 1992, when it was finally shut down, as the proposal to convert to burning natural gas would have proved to expensive.

Every boiler needs a pressure gauge, every workplace needs a clock

Still loving that place. have to say the window looks easier than a lot heres a little story...

did a mill recently & muggins had to do the climb through very tricky first floor window to open another window for my "larger" mate.
That was fine but between the 2 windows was a wall with old wooden sliding f=door that wouldnt open.
I managed to bar the bottom of slider & it moved out prob 7 or 8 inch, so laying on floor forcing it with my back I squeezed through, putting a deep gash in arm.
Then said nail caught my belt buckle snapping that clean off!

I opened the window with blood dripping from fingers & trousers round my ankles much to my mates alarm :D
