Brauweiler is a part of Pulheim, west of Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
In Brauweiler in the 1920s a large power transmission station was built, which supplied up to 380 kV.
It was also the starting point of the north south powerline.
Also in the area of this transformer station is the main control room of the RWE, from which nearly the entire high-voltage transmission system of the RWE AG is supervised by remote control.
This control is also used to coordinate the power transmission in continental Europe.
