Duisburg Ruhr Weir, Hydraulic control structure in Ruhrort, Germany.
The Duisburg Ruhr Weir contains four individually controlled gates that maintain water levels at 25 meters above sea level for river navigation.
Built between 1942 and 1956, this water management structure replaced earlier versions that controlled river flow at the junction of Rhine and Ruhr rivers.
The weir forms part of the Industrial Heritage Trail, displaying informational charts about the technical evolution of water management in the Ruhr region.
A bridge on top of the weir provides a passage for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting to the Ruhr Lock Duisburg and Lock Duisburg-Meiderich.
During extreme Rhine floods, the weir gates can elevate completely above water level to prevent damage from floating debris and regulate water flow.
