Diesel Centrale: Austria June 2018

What can I say about this stunning abandoned vintage powerplant in Austria? These must be some of the finest examples of early 1900s diesel engines on the planet that aren't part of a museum or events space.

Apparently the plant opened around the early 1900s and ceased operation during the 1950s.

The condition here is quite bizarre out of use for over 60 years!! It isn’t that clean so doesn't seem to be used for events like some similar locations. So how is it kept in such great condition?

I’m afraid I can’t answer that. There doesn’t seem to be any info online I presume it was once related to the factory next door but this is only a guess.

I thank whoever looks after this place as the visit here was a real pleasure.

After over thirty hours of travel we arrive at midnight to seek out an access hoping its easy and we can have a lay in. No access is found and we go and crash for the night. We return and look again with still no luck. We even try to seek out who owns the place to gain permission. Eventually we work out a way in and we shoot away. Getting in each others shots at times as it is literally one room, but what a room it is.
