Reisholz Rhine Powerline Crossing

Reisholz Rhine Powerline Crossing is a powerline crossing of Rhine River in Düsseldorf south of Holthausen substation, which was built in 1917 and originally part of the 110 kV-line between Reisholz Power Station and Goldenberg Power Station. This line was the first 110 kV-powerline of RWE. Later the line was transformed into a 220 kV line with 12 conductors arranged in 4 levels in an unusual double danube pylon mode. The span width between the pylons, which are both 88 metres (289 ft) tall, is 375 metres (1,230 ft). The pylon on the east side of Rhine River has a unique feature as under its legs a normal-gauge railway connecting Holthausen substation with the railway grid passes.
