High pressure Pelton turbine plant. This one drove the mechanical textil-machines in the "Eulental" (meaning: "owl valley") of the textile company Josef André Winder and, if necessary, also generated electrical energy. In 1907 the company was acquired by F. M. Hämmerle. After the Second World War, the low-pressure Francis turbine system that had been installed behind it was shut down and sold due to aging.
