The Laurin & Klement Power Plants and Electrification Process at Central Jizera District
Chmelenský, Jiří ; Jakubec, Ivan (referee) ; Štemberk, Jan (referee)
Water power plants on the Jizera river are one of very interesting chapters of electrification process in Czech lands. Near a small town of Mnichovo Hradiště at the Central Bohemia Region were built four small water power plants. They were built for electrical supplying of the car factory Laurin & Klement. Electric energy produced by water power plant didn't need war rations of black or brown coal during the First World War. These water power plant were bought by Škoda Plzeň. In 1927 they were sold to Dražické družstevní závody (Dražice cooperative factory - DCF). This article is based on archives and terrain research. I looked for archive materials at Skoda Auto archive in Mladá Boleslav. All four water power plants have still been producing electrical energy, but only the last water power plant has never been reconstructed, the one at Mladá Boleslav - Rožátov. There you can still find all original machines at original positions. In others three water plants original machines were scrapped. One original transmission bell wheel and one generator still exist out of the building of water power plant at Hněvousice. There still exist 28 brick distribution transformers.
