ABOUT US
DieselHouse is an experience & knowledge center, where visitors can learn about the innovative diesel principles through 120 years, as well as the historical, present and future perspectives for this brilliant innovation.
We tell the story of B&W, that started as a one-man forge. Later B&W developed into one of Denmark’s largest workplaces and kept this title for over a century. B&W has from the beginning of the 20th century been one of the largest developers and producers of large two and four piston diesel engines for larger ships, electricity plants, as well as developing and producing some of the Worlds largest and most advanced ships.
DieselHouse is build around B&W2000, also known as the H.C. Oersted engine. It was build in 1932 and held the record as the Worlds largest engine, for 30 years (until B&W build something even bigger. We also have B&W no. 1, Denmarks first ever patented diesel engine.
Today B&W has become MAN Energy Solutions and with all our history and experience within the art of engineering, we are once again ready to innovate the energy sector.
We welcome you all!
