Abstract

An offshore station (1), in particular an offshore wind power station, comprises a floatable foundation (2) that can be sunk by flooding a hollow chamber, and a superstructure (6) on which functional units (7, 8) of the station (1) are arranged. The foundation (2) includes a bottom pale (3), a base (4) which is disposed on the bottom plate (3) and projects from the water surface (12) in the sunk state of the foundation (2) and on which the superstructure (6) can be mounted, and a floodable floating device (5) which surrounds the base (4) in the shape of a ring. In a method for building an offshore station (1), in particular an offshore wind power station, a floatable foundation (2) is prefabricated in a harbor zone, is towed to a mounting location after being prefabricated and is sunk, whereupon the station (1) is completed with a superstructure (6) and functional units (7, 8) of the station at the mounting location. In the harbor zone, a bottom plate (3) of the foundation (2) is concreted, a base (4) of the superstructure (6) preferably made of prefabricated concrete parts (15) is mounted on the bottom plate (3), and a floodable floating device (5) which surrounds the base (4) in the shape of a ring is mounted on the bottom plate (3) and/or the base (4) once the base (4) has been mounted.
