Ledasperrwerk, Tidal barrier in Leer, Germany
The Ledasperrwerk contains five openings, each measuring 14 meters wide, with lift gates reaching a height of 10.5 meters between control towers.
Construction of the Ledasperrwerk began in September 1950 in a dry section of the Leda River bend and became operational in July 1954.
The barrier structure represents German engineering methods for water management, integrating regional flood protection with maritime navigation requirements.
The gates remain open during normal conditions and close only when water levels exceed 50 centimeters above the average high tide mark.
A pumping station built between 2000 and 2001 near the barrier can move 40 cubic meters of water per second to manage flood risks.
