Stauwehr Wieblingen, Weir system in Heidelberg, Germany

The Wieblingen weir spans the Neckar River with six fields ranging from 4.30 to 5.90 meters in height, regulating water levels for navigation and power generation.

Construction of this water management infrastructure took place between 1922 and 1925 as part of the larger Schwabenheim dam system on the Neckar River.

The structure represents German industrial engineering excellence and stands as a protected monument, reflecting the technological advancement of early 20th-century water management.

A pedestrian footbridge integrated into the weir structure connects the Heidelberg district of Bergheim with Neuenheimer Feld, providing a crossing point over the Neckar.

The weir marks the starting point of the Old Neckar and operates alongside two hydroelectric plants, contributing to local energy production and water level control.
