Staustufe Heidelberg, Lock and barrage in Heidelberg and Dossenheim, Germany
The Staustufe Heidelberg spans 170 meters across the Neckar River with three 40-meter-wide gates supported by four flat-roofed block pillars.
Built during the Weimar Republic in 1921, this structure emerged from a state treaty leading to the construction of 26 dams along the Neckar River.
The structure incorporates local red sandstone cladding over its concrete core, reflecting traditional building materials from the Neckar Valley region.
The facility includes two lock chambers measuring 110 meters in length and 12 meters in width, enabling simultaneous vessel processing on the waterway.
Between 1996 and 1998, engineers added an underwater power plant with flow turbines to generate electricity without altering the surface appearance.
