Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Salzderhelden, Flood control dam in Einbeck, Germany.
The Salzderhelden retention basin spans 1,000 hectares with five polders, controlled by a 116-meter-long main structure along the Leine River.
Construction of the Salzderhelden flood control system began in September 1972 and became operational in March 1994 after successful testing procedures.
The protected area of Polder I contains a permanent lake that serves as a refuge for native and migratory birds in Lower Saxony.
The facility manages water flow through computerized control systems and monitoring stations, protecting downstream areas including the cities of Alfeld and Hannover.
During the Christmas flood of 2023-2024, the basin reached 109.5 percent capacity, storing 40.5 million cubic meters of water, filling Polder 5 for the first time.
