Transformatoren-Station Oberdorf - Grellingen, BL, Switzerland - Historic Transformer Sub-Stations Buildings on Waymarking.com

EN: This transformer substation is located on a steep side road in the north of Grellingen and can be seen from the valley bottom already from far away. The station is in an excellent condition and still in operation. It even has some active overhead lines on two sides. The other corners are also still equipped with insulators.

The cornice between the floors and the pyramid roof are typical for substations from the 1920s in the area of the EBM (Elektra Birseck Münchenstein). The green color is rather unusual, and also the fact that the top row of insulators is not white, but yellow, is quite unique.

DE: Diese Transformatoren-Station steht an einer steilen Seitenstrasse im Norden von Grellingen und ist von Talboden schon von weiten zu sehen. Die Station ist in einem ausgezeichenten Zustand und noch in Betrieb. Sie hat sogar noch einige aktive Freileitungen an zwei Seiten. Auch die anderen Ecken sind noch mit Isolatoren bestückt.

Das Gesims zwischen den Stockwerken und das Pyramidendach sind typisch für Stationen im Gebiet der EBM (Elektra Birseck Münchenstein) aus den 1920er Jahren. Die grüne Farbe ist aber eher ungewöhnlich. Speziell ist auch die Tatsache, dass die oberste Reihe der Isolatoren nicht weiss, sondern gelb ist.

Creation date: 1920s Status: Active Current use: Not listed
