The sun is against a blue sky over the green land, there is hardly a sound from the lifeless power plant site made of concrete and steel.
Depending on the wind direction, the mooing of the suckler cows can be heard from the Stortelwiesen below. Where houses once stood and families lived is deep calm returned.
The idyll next to the industrial romance of the former coal-fired power generation should not last too long. Immediately after the settlement houses were demolished and the foundation pits filled in, the Enervie company began To seek investors for the demolition of the power plant. Together with the city of Werdohl, Elverlingsen is to become an industrial area.
Buyers should be found promptly
Yet until the end of this summerAccording to Enervie project manager Oliver Rabe, a Buyers for plant and property are found. This point in time may have been marked with a bit of optimism, Markus F. Schmidt indicated days later. Schmidt is the managing director responsible for development at Enervie.
The fabric panda that was left behind crouches – exposed to rain and sun – on a fence that has not been demolished in the former Elverlingsen settlement. There was never bamboo here, but it is now all the more green and blooming in the long shadow of the power plants. There are now some interested parties for an Elverlingsen industrial park.

The company is offering the site in an open procedure, In fact, some interested parties have looked at the decommissioned coal-fired power station and the former settlement area. It is planned that the investors submit a purchase offer. The area is to be sold with the condition that it be developed into an industrial area with the city of Werdohl. Incidentally, something similar is happening in Lünen near Dortmund. The Hagedorn Group took over the former Steag power plant. The company wrote: “On March 28, 2021, history was written: The Hagedorn group of companies blew up a boiler house, the cooling tower, the washer of the flue gas desulphurisation system and a 250 meter high chimney of the former power plant, creating space for urgently needed new commercial and industrial buildings Industrial areas. “
Enervie does not comment yet
It is therefore not surprising that there are also interested parties for the smaller facility in Elverlingsen. The old steel is easy to sell, and capital can be made from the development of an industrial park. So far, Enervie spokesman Andreas Köster has kept a low profile when it comes to the state of affairs. Most recently, when asked, he said: “However, there is currently no news worth reporting on the subject.”
When the Mark-E was still called Elektromark, the power plant world was still in order.
