Dozens of transformer substations, also known as ‘trafohuisjes’, are spread across the municipality of Aalten. These substations are designed to convert (transform) high voltage (10,000 Volts) into a lower voltage (230\/400 Volts) that can be used in our homes and businesses. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first transformer substations were built in the early 1920s by the Provinciale Gelderse Electriciteits Maatschappij (PGEM<\/a>). In 1994, PGEM merged into Nuon and was split up in 2009. The current grid operator is called Liander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The oldest transformer substations were designed by Gerrit Versteeg (1872-1938), who was the in-house architect of PGEM at the time. They incorporate influences from the Hague School, the Amsterdam School, and Frank Lloyd Wright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buildings are often distinctive brick structures, usually with a rectangular floor plan and a single story with a hip roof, gable roof, or flat roof. The doors are frequently made of green-painted steel. The substations feature an inlaid nameplate made of concrete or tiles (from the Goedewaagen company in Gouda). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultural-historical value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The older transformer substations have a significant visual value. From a cultural-historical perspective, the buildings commemorate the electrification of the municipality of Aalten. Newer substations (from approximately the early 1980s onwards) usually have a purely functional design and are therefore not of interest from a cultural-historical point of view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many historical transformer substations in the Netherlands have been designated as (municipal) monuments. As of yet, no transformer substation is included on the monument list of the municipality of Aalten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

List of transformer substations in Aalten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list of all transformer substations in the municipality of Aalten, as far as we are aware (April 2025). A number of older substations may be of cultural-historical value and could potentially qualify for protected status. Substations built up to and including 1980 are also displayed on the map. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
