Meander fish passes, Fish ladder in Schwentinental near Kiel, Germany.
The helical staircase design of this fish passage includes 36 basins arranged in a spiral formation, extending over 200 meters to bridge a height difference of 6.5 meters.
Construction of this fish passage began in early 2004 at the Rastorfer Mühle power plant site, with water introduction occurring on April 27, 2005.
The structure generated discussions between environmental organizations, university researchers, and local fishing clubs regarding the balance of technological progress and ecological preservation.
European Union funds provided 550,000 euros for this construction, which helps fish species navigate both upstream and downstream movements in the Schwentine river system.
The circular configuration of the steps prevents fish injuries while allowing them to complete their journey through the passage within a single night.
