“…Several historians point out that there is considerable evidence about contemporaries noticing changes in hydropower exploitation as a kind of energy transition (Blackbourn 2013). Historians deepened our understanding of the rise of scientific turbine research (Layton 1992;Malone 2009), the emergence of large-scale hydro-engineering projects (Lagendijk 2016;Cohn et al 2020), and the environmental legacies of exploiting white coal (Landry 2015). Tracing the development in a long-term perspective by analyzing the large-scale view of demand counted in millions of kilowatt-hours displayed by national statistics, it becomes clear that the share of white coal in total energy production from hydropower continued to increase in the early decades of the twentieth century.…”

“…The construction of large-scale power units, dams, and artificial lakes were obvious and significant interferences with the landscape (Landry 2015). Disputes over hydropower plants were, therefore, among the "classical nature protection conflicts" with a long history (Engels 2006, p. 159).…”

“…Vgl. Anonymus (1906c) (Landry 2015). In den oberen Verästelungen der Mittelgebirgsflüsse stellten die geringen Abflussmengen der wasserarmen Quellrinnsale aber selbst bei größeren Herbststürmen vergleichsweise »geringe Anforderungen an die Widerstandsfähigkeit der Bauwerke«, wie es der Bauinspektor Adolf Ludin ausführte (Ludin 1919: 146).…”

“…Die vielen dezentralen mit Wasserrädern angetriebenen Hammerwerke, Drahtrollen und Schleifkotten standen dabei in augenfälligem Kontrast zu den noch jungen turbinengetriebenen Großanlagen zur Stromversorgung, die sich in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts an größeren Strömen emporhoben (Pritchard/Zeller 2010: 80;Evenden 2015;Lagendijk 2015;Landry 2015).…”
