I will never understand why people go through a place like that and destroy everything they can. I would like to be able to walk a place like that.
Usually people that have never created or unable to create like to destroy things
lets make a difference: this place aint abandoned at all, its only probably a larger part of a bigger facility that is now closed, but I m pretty sure just on the side there are workers, thats why nobody woulf ever think of damage anything, thats why still power pumping in those neon
@Bojan Mlin because its not abandoned, it is still property of someone who does not want to spend money on it dismanteling or whatever. they just keep it clean and take an eye nobody steals anything
@Mike Oxlong It's not live rendered so you can take up some time to render everything :) j/k I get the joke 🤡❤
@Atlas Magnus why?
imagine all the work that went in to get this place operational, the logistics and knowhow how to make something like this work.. mindblowing
Indeed
Wow that one control room with the power still on and all controls going crazy because the plant was offline, after all those years the lights still blink..
Man you guys share some amazing adventures. Literally one of the best urbex channels on any platform. Editing is always top notch. 👏
Thanks! Actually this os a non-edited one.. experimenting with it as some like it this way.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath hehe you guys came a long way. I was subbed on another account but It sadly got banned. Mrpatriickz. I sent you messages on instagram from time to time too haha.
That's a german place and the text with Betriebsstunden is German too.
I'm from germany, that's how I know it.
This place isn't abandoned at all, lol.
This guy is either trespassing, or he simply has a permit to film.
Because the power is running everywhere, you know it's in use, otherwise nobody would be wasting that much electricety.
That's why actual abandoned places are being visited with flashlights, not like this guy.
Nobody is destroying or stealung anything there, it's just, that the company is either selling machine parts, or using them in a different place.
It honestly just looks like he just shouldn't be there.
But I imagine, some germans are nice enough to allow you to record, if youo simply say, that you're interested in their facilities history.
Visiting churches, however grand, always leaves me cold and unmoved, but these cathedrals of engineering are truly awesome. The way you film these visits, whispering as you walk adds to the fantastic spooky ambiance as you creep through the shadows, and whenever you stop to take a close-up of some equipment I can tell you share my sense of awe at the genius of mankind in creating these leviathans. The humming transformers in your 2013 footage just add to the feeling that you’re walking inside a living, breathing, sleeping beast. Fantastic!

It never ceases to amaze me, how many huge, unused factories, utility facilities and "safe havens" there are out there. You guys help bring it to light, saving history for everyone to watch for years to come. Great job
If the word is going down I know where I'm going
I'll meet you there😂

Also it's funny to see Brown Boveri, AEG and Siemens-machines back to back.
What's the BBC turbine? Looks like a BB and AEG love child
@@RuzzP BBC stands for Brown, Boveri & Cie. So it's the same company, just different nameplates.
Probably not a matter of Mfg. choice but who had the lowest bid.
Asea Brown Boweri is the leader in power grids. Siemens can be found always in any industrial locations...
@@keenhauberk funny to see ABB written out completely,
I work at a 4 gas turbine power plant. That place you’re at is amazing!!
It is! From which year are the turbines at your place?😊
Startup was 2000

@@ayanonight7700 Most of his episodes are with flashlights. YOu are clueless
*Thank You for taking us along with you!! It really is a wonderful place! Since we cant really go anywhere because of covid its a treat to get to see such interesting places!*
Dude, you are amazing. Great job!
I worked at Brown Boveri here in Brazil. many memories seeing this name again.
@Lee Brown Boveri has been present in Brazil since the 1950s, having participated in the supply of equipment for major public works, including the generators at the Itaipu hydroelectric plant - the largest in the world so far
@Lee Lignite
Brown Boveri made a gas tubine loco for the then GWR in the 40s, it ran for trials until sold to Germany, it returned to the UK in the 90s, and is undergoing restoration...
@@lorrainedimmock4096👍🏻
Imagine being there alone and suddenly one of the engines starts to work again. spooky
I'm just amazed any lights were left turned on. And your right that place is huge and pretty amazing. Another great video, thanks for the content
The lights and the gray and green look to everything reminds me of a horror movie or Half Life 2 beta
Oh wow. There are still 2 turbines in that plant ready to fire up for emergency situations until next year.
But in a different machine hall?
@@endlesscyclist1212 yeah. It has to be beyond that long tubine hall. I only read it on wikipedia.

It’s haunted
an awesome explore guys!
Wow, Fantastic. You guys are awesome.
Thanks.
Thanks a million😊
Epic explore as always Bob! I'd love to do some urbex with you guys but am stuck in Cyprus!
Thank you for taking us on amazing adventures. This visit was fantastic. Quiet and powerful. Played the album Twentythree by Carbon Based Lifeforms very softly in headphones throughout. What an amazing vicarious experience. Thank you for returning with new gear. This near silent tour is wonderful. 28:30 is a beautiful moment; subject, framing...perfect. Thank you again. Stay safe because I'm staying tuned.
My goodness that place is immense! I worked on and operated steam turbines in NYC but they weren't 1/4 the size of these. I would need one of those bicycles or a golf cart to explore that place. Amazing.
Great visit! Thanks!
You guys just keep surprising me......bloody awesome.
Always watching you guys.. never miss it..
What an amazing place, massive building, great exploration
That is an unbelievable big complex thanks for the walk through hello from Australia
Keep exploring...😁👍
Definitely one of my fav explores. Hope we can return !!!
Wow. Only saw offical pictures from the inside of this turbine hall back in the day as our school classe visited the coal mine from where the coal came which fueled this power plant.
I had known the dimensions but from that pictures you couldn't get a real clue how big its really is. Your video makes a much better job.
This turbine hall is actually the second longest in Germany only the former turbine hall of the nuclear plant in Lubmin is with 1km longer. But the hall there in now empty and divided by walls into smaller halls.
Where is this plant? Country?
Where is this ? I just like looking on google earth
Unbelievable that such places wont be conserved as an industrial landmark :(

It's amazing to see the advancements in technology literally cemented into the floor
ik mis jullie vids hplk loopt binnenkort alles terug normaal,een fijne kerst alvast top channel!
Thanks ! We uploaden nog wel hoor ! Ben druk bezig om zelf financieel overeind te blijven staan in deze crisis :)
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath jah,das zuur tegenwoordig,zeker voor zelfstandigen,als dan nog de kosten voor het exploren er bijkomen...all the best!we duimen mee. :)
That 2013 footage is crazy.
Imagine how much power that has flowed out of this place
What an creepy but cool place.. great video
Very interesting guys! Thanks
Whats going on this weekend!? My three favorite urbex channels all post power plants - some of my favorite content!
I said it before, but I really dig these raw explores with live narration very much! It provides a special atmosphere I prefer over pure post production commentary. Thanks for that and please keep them coming! 👍
Thanks ! Have to get used to it but will be fine in the future😊 it DOES save a lot of edit time.
Who's the other two haha
@@kel1481 Broken Window Theory and Proper People just posted power plant videos as well.
@@abpsd73 you might wanna check shiey hahaha GOAT !
Wat mij opvalt is dat er zoveel verspild wordt en zo wordt achter gelaten. Ik vind dat natuurlijk niet erg, zo hebben wij wat interessants te kijken wat jullie filmen. Ga zo door ik vind het super om naar jullie opnames te kijken.
Thanks😄😄
Thanks Bob. Awesome as usual. I would have liked to see a picture of whatever was Buzzing. Thanks
Awesome video guys
There's so many cool places in this world that we never get to see unless it is closed down and someone sneaks in.
Blows my mind it closes and rots. When it def could be retrofitted and atleast some of it used.
Love to know we're this so I can Google some of th specs. Lucky enough to have been involved with demolition ofsme of those incredible places. Wish such incredible spaces could be re purposed
KKW Greifswald
So much waste, unbelievable.
Great video Bob.
Geile Location ! 👍👍👍 Bleibt Gesund! 👍
Good that they switch on the Light for you ^^
you guys are awesome....
Amazing
Come on,genius👏👏👏 hi from Argentina
Interesting video,i love it
you guys stand out and stand above others who call themselves urban explorers but don't manage to ever get (in)to any place that has NOT been totally trashed, depressing with all the windows smashed, the floors nearly impossible to navigate be cause of all the trash, and everything having been covered in 60 layers of graffiti - the secret locations that YOU explore being completely intact and pristine on the other hand, and you finding ALL KINDS of such places to investigate, it is just of a totally different level. Kudos, may we all learn something from you; may we learn to preserve VALUE
Places like this have value for industrial tourism. Places like the Tait Museum that was once a power house is now a art gallery... Heh, I go some where else like internal fire museum. The engineering that goes into these places is art in of it self.
Another outstanding job Robert. I know they are fans but if you take a drink for just the silly questions you get really drunk! Double shot if they ask you about the 'B' team.
deym watching videos like these, made me feel like i was in there too exploring.
Love the control lights still blinking. The hum of the transformer notable since nothing else is operating. Must be a millions of scrap metals in the place.
There is. It’s really gigantic! Thanks for checking out
Amazing location !
Just about fell off my chair when you did the backlit photo of you guys in the turbine with your hands on the windows!!! Bloody awesome!!! What an incredible place. You could have spend weeks in there and not seen it all!!! Great work.
You strong man good job 👍👍
Nice to see how it looks today. When i was a child, it was fully operated and we visited it with our school class. The main generator hall is still very impressive.

What country is this in?
@@tomstickland Germany
that place is insanely huge
what an amazing place...
It was! Gigantic
Wish you guys could see the inside of a boiler if you want to be amazed they're huge
Very Good,
Damned cool 💩 you're seeing!! Congratz & thx 4 sharin'
Brown Boveri later known as Asea Brown Boweri or ABB, one of the Transformer Factories is here in my city
Спасибо . Крутое видео👍👍👍👍👍
astonishing
A few years ago i worked for a rope access company inside such power plants. we had to secure the guys cleaning the pipes inside the boiler room which was at appr. 160m height. we went into this dark steamy stinky hole which was blasted by high pressure water before to clean of all that carbon from the burning process to rise efficiency again ( well efficiency is a big word for such archaic technology such as burning coal to generate steam to generate eletricity ) , walking on those swinging pipes knowing that below us was a 160m deep dark hole. crazy feeling with all those people yelling at each other in languages i never heard before. of course we walked through nearly the whole complex such as the places you showed in this video. every time amazing how lost and tiny one feels inside such huge, dark, dirty and dangerous environments. attracting and disturbing at the same time. felt good to quit this dirty job eventhough we had good times there with all the guys working, sleeping, eating together for weeks. feel a bit sad for those who have to do that dirty shit for their whole life...
Quiet interesting that some parts at around 15 minutes lookes like brand new .
Should be a museum....!!
Yup.. unfortunately most of these places get torn down
Why did you guys stopped posting flags on the miniatures ? That was a really nice touch
@Nitro Zeus I like exploring myself and I understand it, but hey - its just a flag ;) countries are rather big, and its a nice touch to be able to link types of objects/architecutral styles/etc with country, besides - at least I wont rather visit most of these remote locations, as long as something is not in my region ;)
Really enjoy your videos. Do you guys get anxious or apprehensive about being approached whilst inside any of these sites?
I want to go with you guys holy crap 😳
I love your journeys!
I think i saw you guys last week getting out of HFB
@@mctubbie1672 Thanks, saw our top 10 most dangerous adventures? And possible yes, last weekend we slept at HFB (for Frederik's birthday) ..haha
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath hahaha yess, We were standing at the shop just waiting to enter. If I only knew I would've talked to you man !
And I saw the top 10 indeed, all top locations!
The sheer scale of that generator room is amazing.
I guess they are going to sell the parts, given some of them were on pallets and seemed to have new primer on them.
Probably sold to China... a real solution for the “ climate measures “ 😂
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Yeah, that's my guess as well, sell it to countries who are still using older models.
nice😁
Awesome explore! Thanks! Can anyone say what kind of power plant this was? It seems unusual.
It's a lignite one :)
Gracias por los subtítulos en español lo agradezco 👏👏
Donde es esto campeon gracias.
Spanish subtitles! thanks guys! Cheers!
This is like from some computer game. An endless industrial setting without function or purpose, other than travel through.
an absolute marvel of engineering
It seems like the station has mostly been taken off the grid with temporary lights put in it’s place. You can see the cords running to all of them
I was curious and put all the hints together and I think that I have found this powerplant. If I'm right, then the plant is not completely shut down yet. It's just the older blocks; the newer ones are still in use. Pretty nice to see, though.

looks exactly like the nylon plant i worked in.......right down to the gaskets hanging on pegboard
Good video
wunderbar
Brasil!!!
U should make a treasure map for this place!
Çok teşekkürler türkçe alt yazı koyan uğraşan arkadaşlara allah razı olsun güzel olmuş
Lijkt me een droom om een keer met jullie mee te gaan! Zou top zijn
look at all the alarm lights flashing on that panel . the computer is looking for out put and nothing is running , if the operator ever saw that on his shift he would have had a heart attack. no green lights only yellow and red . some one was in there and was playing with the start button. lol lol.
I think Germany has taken the recycling of their old structures into serious consideration. Thousands of tons of cast iron and other precious materials are at their disposal. A mine of materials for free or at a price of weight, without saying thanks to neighboring nations. This is a serious circular economy.
North America will never grasp this concept
still in use? That electricity sound...
Fantastic explore ! That's not big, that's a gigantic behemoth of steel !
29:36 the Death Star is ready to fire its hyper lazer to destroy a planet
Wow, the generators were still running
Why is there power still on are they still running Some power through the building?
Somebody dropped something big on the floor above, look at the ceiling damage at 11:42. Sure wish the lighting was better, you can't really see much.
You know it's huge when you see the bicycles
Creepy
I can't help wondering what the people are doing that worked in these places. The stories they could tell.
If the walls could talk.
