"At a ceremony in Linderhof Palace on May 25, 2011, Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, Bavarian Finance Minister Georg Fahrenschon and Siemens President and CEO Peter Löscher honored the first pioneers of the age of electricity. It was at Linderhof in 1878 that Sigmund Schuckert built – by order of King Ludwig II – the world’s first power plant to use electric dynamos operating on the Siemens principle. As the history of Linderhof shows, visions can become reality." (Quoted from paper)
