Waterpower Paper Factory Bernburg

This spot in Bernburg lets you get up close with working hydropower history — the site operates two historic water turbine systems from the old paper factory and Saalemühle on the Saale River. It's surprisingly fascinating to see how the old industrial infrastructure has been preserved and kept running as a small-scale renewable energy operation. If you're curious about how mills and early industrial water power actually worked, this is a genuinely rare hands-on look at it.
