The Horkheim weir is located at the beginning of the ecologically very interesting old arm of the Neckar. The side canal branches off at the weir and leads to the Horkheim lock and the hydroelectric power station. The Horkheim flood barrier gate is located at the beginning of the side canal next to the weir system.

The gates installed in the weir fields have a total height of 7.60 metres. These…

The construction of a barrage in Greifswald-Wieck is included in the General Plan for Coastal and Flood Protection in Mecklenburg-­Vorpommern under the status of priority urgency. The structure forms an integral part of the Greifswald flood defences to be realised. A particular focus of the work was on the design and thus the urban integration into the sensitive urban space. The project was…

The oxbow weir is located in the north-east of Saxony-Anhalt and was built around 1936-1937 for water regulation and flood protection. The weir system consists of a double sweeping half-timbered gate as a weir closure and a barge lock. Both parts are separated by a massive centre pillar and bordered by two massive edge pillars.

The river valleys of the Osterzgebirge were and are often affected by devastating floods - for example in 1897, 1958, 2002 and 2013. After the 2002 flood, a flood protection concept was drawn up for the Rote Weißeritz river basin. Among other things, this provides for the construction of a flood retention basin in the Pöbeltal valley.
