June 22, 2026, Historic Hydroelectric Power Plant Zwettl

At the Kamp, above Zwettl, a weir with a mill race and a power station were to be built, in which two turbines with a total of 100 HP would generate enough electricity to operate at least 950 light bulbs in Zwettl, each with a luminous intensity of 16 standard candles. [The "standard candle" was an old unit of measurement for luminous intensity = the light of a paraffin candle with a diameter of 20 mm, whose wick was trimmed so that the flame burned 50 mm high.] Initially, it was planned to generate high-voltage direct current, which was to be transported to Zwettl via an approximately 2.8 km long overhead line to a transformer. The costs for all preparatory work (including land and usage rights acquired as early as April 1892) were borne in equal parts by Wichtl, Göschl, and Löscher out of their own pockets.

In 1892, when the use of electrical energy was still in its infancy worldwide, three Zwettl businessmen made the bold decision to build an "electrical power and light central" (= a power plant) in this city. They were the 40-year-old master miller Alois Wichtl (Kuenringerstraße 3), the innkeeper Karl Löscher (Ottenschlager Straße 2), then just 38 years old, and the 43-year-old master cabinetmaker Friedrich Göschl (Kamptalstraße 22). They consulted the Viennese electrical engineer Franz Kröttlinger and became convinced that they had found the ideal location for their power plant in the Kamptal, near the Gschwendtmühle. Here, both the drop, water level, and water volume seemed suitable for the project to the technician.

In 1984, the municipality, in cooperation with the Nature Friends and the local savings bank, created a memorial plaque with a relief image of Emperor Franz Joseph. The monument is still popularly called Kaiserbüste (Emperor's Bust), even though there is no longer a bust of an emperor here.

Old and new – historical and contemporary meet here, right on the Kamp River. A glimpse into the history of the Waldviertel is possible if you let yourself be involved.

The complex opened on October 30, 1898. Construction was approved in July 1898 by the Beautification Association, under chairman Franz Beydi. A memorial to Emperor Franz Joseph was erected to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his reign. The gallery was built directly beneath a small waterfall on the path to the newly completed power plant. The plaque was designed by sculptor Carl Hermann in 1984. It bears the inscription "Emperor Franz Joseph 1848 – 1898" and features a bronze relief head of the emperor.
