EN: This old transformer tower is located on the southern outskirts of Wisen, behind the town hall.

I could not find any detaild information about it. The tower has a steep pitched roof and two oval windows, above the entrance in the wide format and in the gable in portrait orientation. It is about eight meters high and seems to be still in operation. It even has still some overhead lines to the south.

DE: Dieser alte Transformatorenturm befindet sich am Südrand von Wisen, hinter der Gemeindeverwaltung.

Ich konnte keine Details in Erfahrung bringen. Der Turm hat ein steiles Satteldach und ovale Fensteröffnungen, über dem Eingang im Breitformat und im Giebel im Hochformat. Er ist etwa acht Meter hoch und scheint noch in Betrieb zu sein. Es führen sogar noch einige Freileitungen nach Süden.
Creation date: unknown, maybe 1950s
