EN: This two-story transformer tower stands at Lehmenweg in a residential area in Dornach. The station is the standard model of the electricity company "Elektra Birseck" from the 1920s. The house has a pyramidal roof and a string course between the floors. There is a tiled porch above the entrance. Unlike other surviving towers of this type, this one has the two stories differently colored. The free area around the station is a children's playground today. The station is probably still in operation.
