Weserwehr, Navigation lock in Hemelingen, Germany
The Weserwehr lock system includes five 30-meter-wide fields with adjustable weir flaps to regulate water levels in the Weser River.
Built between 1906 and 1911, the original Weserwehr lock established artificial boundaries for tidal currents and maintained minimum water levels for inland navigation.
The lock facility incorporates a fish ladder system, demonstrating the integration of maritime infrastructure with environmental preservation initiatives.
The main shipping chamber measures 225 meters in length and 12.5 meters in width, accommodating large commercial vessels through water level differences of up to 6 meters.
The facility features an underground inspection tunnel spanning the entire weir length, enabling maintenance crews to access all sections during repairs.
