Dörverden barrage, Hydroelectric power station and barrage in Dörverden and Hilgermissen, Germany
The Dörverden barrage spans across the Weser River, incorporating both a hydroelectric power station and water management system at 14.60 meters elevation.
Constructed in 1914, the Dörverden barrage marked the beginning of sustainable energy production and improved water management in Lower Saxony.
The Dörverden barrage attracts local fishermen who maintain traditional fishing practices while adapting to modifications in aquatic environments created by the structure.
