Interconnection between Germany and France The cities of Strasbourg in France and Kehl in Germany form a common urban area. There are multiple bridges crossing the river Rhine connecting both cities, even a tram line operates between both cities since 2017. Beside traffic, also a high-voltage power ...

As I promised: We see different powerlines next to Grünwettersbach. On the left the 110 kV line from Karlsruhe via Ettlingen and Langensteinbach to Birkenfeld. The bigger line used to have two 220 kV circuits, nowadays the right one is operated at 110 kV. KA_PF1.jpg As you can see, these towers look...

I recently visited Großgartach Substation in February 2022, when some old 220 kV lines have been dismantled. Interestingly the low portals from the former 220 kV are still standing... Somewhere here the question came up about the old one-circuit 110 kV powerline between Karlsruhe and Pforzheim. I ca...

In the 1920ies a 110 kV-powerline was built from Ludwigsburg-Hoheneck to Karlsruhe. In 1980 the section of the line situated northwestly of Pforzheim was rerouted to large pylons, which are capable of carrying two 110 kV and two 380 kV-circuits and which carry the designation "Anlage 7620"...

These towers must be in former East Germany. Where exactly?

That’s correct. They are part of the 110kV line to Barleben

I wonder why the reversed donau.

This powerline was originally built in 1935 (Harbke-Spandau) by Elektrowerke AG and used this type of tower since then.

I "just" know it because I know this area quite well. It's not far away from my hometown You see all of this powerlines while driving on the highway A5.

The first one is the 380-kV-line Daxlanden-Kühmoos. One circuit is operated by AMprion, the other ones by TransnetBW (they run through Eichstetten substation).

The second line in an old 110 kV line, looks like Offenburg-Freiburg.

The third line is the railway power line from Karlsruhe to Muttenz.

Aha near Bodensee. This must be a German type of tower, Austria has it's own design of towers. It's the famous old RWE "Nord-Süd-Leitung" from 1929, which once connected Austrian water power plants (Vorarlberger Illwerke near Bludenz) with Brauweiler substation near Cologne (coal power st...

It must be two circuits 220 kV. (Hoheneck-Bürs en Dellmensingen-Bürs)

Vermoedelijk wat dit vroeger een 220-kV-lijn. Het station was tot ruim 2005 een 380/220/110/35-kV-station! De lijn van Weisweiler naar Verlautenheide is van ca. 1998/99, daarvoor wordt Aken via de oude 220-kV-lijn (liep vroeger naar Belgie) voorzien.
