Power

A few miles south of Munich, high in the mountains, is the Walschensee-- a lake. In 1918, the Bavarian Government decided to turn its vast water supply to the manufacture of power. Construction of a colossal plant began and is now nearing completion. This giant waterpower project will be the largest in Europe and is designed to operate all the Bavarian State railways by electricity and to supply vast units of power for private enterprise. So great will be the power available from the plant that some of it is expected to find its way to Austria and Wuerttemberg.
