Otterndorf, Water pumping station in Cuxhaven, Germany.

The water pumping station features vertical shaft underwater pumps that manage water levels in areas situated below the average high tide level.

The facility was constructed in the late 1920s to regulate water flow in the coastal lowlands near the Elbe estuary region.

The station includes a bronze dike monument from 1996 that represents the engineering achievements in water management of the North Sea coast.

The pumping system maintains a capacity of 8 cubic meters per second with a delivery height of 1.35 meters for effective water control.

The station operates in conjunction with the Ihlienworth stepped pumping station to regulate water levels in territories two meters below sea level.
