The Dampfzentrale ("steam center") is a cultural centre and former fossil fuel power plant in Bern, Switzerland. The power plant was built between 1901 and 1904 by architect Eduard Joos at Marzilistrasse 47.[1] The chair of the board Nicola von Greyerz stood down in 2018 and was replaced by Melanie Mettler and Vinzenz Mathys.[2] In 2023, it was announced that the Dampfzentrale would receive 2.4 million CHF every year in subsidies from 2024 until 2027.[3]
