Stauwehr Oberföhring, Weir and footbridge in northern English Garden, Munich, Germany
The Stauwehr Oberföhring extends 78.4 meters across the Isar River, controlling water flow through four arches of 17 meters each.
Construction of the weir began in 1924, replacing a wire rope ferry that operated at this location since 1896.
The structure connects the English Garden with the Oberföhring district, creating a central meeting point for pedestrians and nature enthusiasts.
The weir directs water into the Middle Isar Canal, which runs 64 kilometers before rejoining the Isar River near Landshut.
A small underground power station beneath the weir generates 5.7 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually while managing water distribution.
