Staustufe Griesheim, Hydroelectric power station and barrage in Frankfurt, Germany
The Staustufe Griesheim spans across the Main River with three 40-meter-wide roller gates and generates power through three Kaplan turbines.
Constructed between 1929 and 1932, the facility replaced older infrastructure after Frankfurt and the Reich government signed an agreement for Main River modernization.
The power station building exemplifies New Objectivity architectural style and stands as a designated cultural heritage monument in the state of Hesse.
The facility includes two lock chambers measuring 344 meters in length, allowing passage for vessels up to 185 meters long and 11.45 meters wide.
The dam structure generates approximately 35 million kilowatt-hours annually while maintaining a minimum water depth of 2.90 meters for navigation.
