Lauffen barrage, Hydroelectric barrage on Neckar River in Lauffen am Neckar, Germany.
The Lauffen barrage maintains water levels across the Neckar River with concrete barriers and mechanical gates, enabling vessel navigation through the waterway system.
Construction of the barrage in the early 20th century marked a significant advancement in water management infrastructure along the Neckar River transportation network.
The barrage forms part of the industrial heritage that transformed the Neckar Valley from a traditional agricultural region into a modern shipping corridor.
Modern control systems at the barrage regulate water flow for commercial vessels, while generating renewable energy through integrated hydroelectric turbines.
The structure combines flood control mechanisms with a lock system that allows cargo ships to navigate different water levels throughout the year.
