huge Excavator Hitachi KMC 1200S-7 demolition site

Work is being carried out on the former Elberfeld heating plant - more precisely: demolition work is being carried out. For a few days now, an excavator has been tearing down the outer wall of the old part of the building. And the public still doesn't know what is actually going to happen here.

The heating plant was shut down in July 2018, and since then the power plant in Korzert and one in Barmen have been supplying the city. In 2019, the site and buildings were then sold to investors whose plans included a hotel and event complex. The explosive thing: The neighboring Bayer AG had also expressed interest in the site, but the contract was awarded to a company that had already invested in a conversion project in a former power plant in Bad Oeynhausen.

Despite repeated inquiries, the "Heizkraftwerk Wuppertal-Elberfeld Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH" did not respond in time before the editorial deadline to the question of what was currently happening in the former heating plant.

And Yvonne Peterwerth, spokeswoman for Bayer AG, was not allowed to say much about the current status, except: "We are still interested in the site and are in talks with the owner." The investors' plans could not be implemented for safety reasons due to the direct proximity to the Bayer plant."
