Ranna Pumped Storage Power Station

Ranna Pumped Storage Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectricity power plant of Upper Austria. It is located at lake Ranna which is situated at the river Danube. The Ranna Pumped Storage Power Station uses the dammed water of the river Ranna which merges into the river Danube closely behind the power station. With its commissioning in 1925 it is one of the oldest power stations in the Austrian Mühlviertel region. As a Pumped Storage Power Station, it is able to pump water from the river Danube into the Ranna Valley storage tanks in times of weak consumer demand. This is possible because the tanks are located at a higher altitude than the river. In times of high consumer demand the water is released into the other direction where it produces electricity by running through turbines.
History.
Between 1923 and 1925 the company Stern&Hafferl built a power station with a weir to rim the river Ranna. The entire power capacity of the bottleneck solution then equaled 5.8 MW
From 1947 to 1954 an extensive expansion followed. It was initiated by the Upper Austrian Power Stations Stock Company (today: ). During the expansion, the Ranna Valley Dam was built and the existing simple power station was upgraded to a pumped storage power station. The power capacity of the power station was hereby tripled.
On 1 February 1962 there was a fraction of the water tunnel above the power plant. On this occasion, roundabout 10000 m³ of water cascaded down the valley. The consequences were landslides as well as damages at a nearby agricultural enterprise. As the pressure tunnel had to be reconditioned, the power generation had to be put down for a longer period. At the power station building itself only minor damages followed from the incident.
At the end of August 2014 the reservoir lake had to be emptied completely due to necessary works of maintenance on the technical equipment. During this phase, a planned temporary resettlement of the fish stock in the lake took place. As part of the revision a new closing cap was built into the bottom outlet. Further, the dam wall and water tunnel were checked for malfunctions.
Up until the beginning of 2012 the power station served as one of four regional control centres, in which the power station of Partenstein was steered. Today the Ranna Pumped Storage Power Station is steered by the „Leitstelle Wasserkraft“ in Gmunden, just like all hydroelectric power stations maintained by Energie AG Oberösterreich.

About twenty trucks with German soldiers and the paramilitary force "Jagdkommando Schubert", named after the Wehrmacht sergeant Friedrich Schubert who was in command, surrounded the village. They gathered all the people they found in the town square. One group of the civilians was led into the house of villager Evangelos Ntinoudis. They were locked inside and burnt alive.

Apart from the people who were killed in the two groups, others were raped and killed outside their homes or even the village, while trying to escape. A total of 146 civilians residents of Chortiatis were killed that day. 109 of them were women and girls.

Prosecco (; ) is a village near the city of Trieste, Italy. It is best known for giving the name to the wine Prosecco. It lies above sea level.
Name.
Prosecco was attested in written sources in 1308 as "Prossecho" (and as "Prosec" in 1372, "Prossegk" in 1421, and "Proseck" and "Prosseck" in 1494). The name is of Slovene origin, derived from the dialect common noun "prosek" 'path cut through the woods' (cf. standard Slovene "proseka", standard Serbian/Croatian is "prosek"). The wine Prosecco was named after the village, and this wine name was later re-borrowed from Italian into Slovene and Croatian as "prošek".
Population.
The population in the central area of the locality is still mainly Slovene; it was 92% Slovene before the annexation of Austrian Littoral to Italy in 1920 and subsequent Italianization. The newer part of the locality known as "Borgo San Nazario", built in the 1950s and 1960s, is mainly inhabited by Istrian Italians that left Istria after the end of World War II.


Laze pri Dolskem

Laze pri Dolskem ( or ) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Dol pri Ljubljani in the eastern Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. The settlement includes the hamlet of Slapnica to the east and the isolated Rogač farm above the main settlement.
Name.
The name of the settlement was changed from "Laze" to "Laze pri Dolskem" in 1953. The name "Laze" is derived from the common noun "laz" 'cleared area in or next to a forest overgrown with grass'. This was originally a masculine plural noun (preserved in some other toponyms such as "Dolenji Lazi"), but it became a feminine plural noun like similar toponyms (e.g., "Laze", "Zgornje Laže", etc.) due to the ambiguous accusative ending in "-e".
History.
At the beginning of the 20th century, a grave dating from the Migration Period was found near the Hribar house, testifying to early settlement in the area. A former mill along Slapnica Creek was torn down between the two world wars. The former inn in Laze pri Dolskem closed in 1964.
