Concrete fire point of the German army at the Ķegum HPP (in the Energy Museum on the territory)
Fortification
50
Atrodas 300 m ziemeļrietumos no Ķeguma HES dambja (Ķeguma prospekta), Enerģētikas muzeja teritorijā. Salīdzinoši labi saglabājies, vizuāli iespaidīgs. Apskatāms, tikai apmeklējot Enerģētikas muzeju, vai arī no ziemeļu puses, otrpus Ķeguma HES teritorijas žogam. Šis ir viens no Daugavas kreisā krasta Pirmā Pasaules kara laika vācu armijas aizsardzības līnijas ugunspunktiem, kas vairāk vai mazāk izsekojami visā Daugavas kreisā krasta garumā. Minētā aizsardzības līnija ir liela mēroga militāra sistēma, kas līdz šim īsti nav novērtēta kā vienots veselums.

Efforts to prevent the blowing up of Ķegums HPP
During the Second World War, when the armies retreated, a large part of the militarily and logistically important objects in Latvia were blown up, so that these resources would not remain with the current opponents. Such objects were also in the vicinity of Ķegums, where one of the most important objects is the Ķegums HPP, which, however, was not completely destroyed due to the efforts and efforts of its employees.
