The power plant Schilling was a heavy oil-fired oil power plant with three blocks of 125 MW capacity in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant Stade PPS.

The construction work began in 1957. In 1960, the first block in use. Unit 2 followed in August 1962, block 3 in February 1964. Firing was carried out as at 18 front firing oil burners with a fuel flow rate of each 1700 kg / h The power plant incl MATCHING tank farm but has been decommissioned and dismantled. Since it mainly served for the power supply of Hamburg and its current einspeiste in the substation Hamburg -Nord, at the time was the first overhead line crossing the Elbe at Stade, the Elbe crossing 1, built.

In the late 1980s it was decommissioned. The decommissioning of Units 1 to 3 was carried in the years 1993-1994 as well as the dismantling of the tank farm (TLS). The chimney was then dismantled. On 17 December 2005, the last element was blown up by the machine house, since mid 2006, no building of the power station are no more than the intake structure. The once characteristic, 220 m high chimney was at the time of its construction may be the highest in the world. Thus, the flue gas should be evenly distributed in the atmosphere with its high content of sulfur dioxide. Desulphurisation were mandatory only in the 1980s.
