Staustufe Fankel, Lock and barrage complex in Bruttig-Fankel, Germany
The Fankel barrage incorporates two locks for motor vessels, a boat lock, a hydroelectric power station, and a fish ladder on the Moselle River.
Built in 1964 during the Moselle canalization project, the facility marked a significant advancement in river navigation and water management infrastructure.
The central control room at Fankel manages water levels and power generation for all barrages along the Moselle and Saar rivers, supporting regional transportation.
Large motor vessels up to 135 meters and push convoys up to 172 meters can navigate through the main lock chamber of the facility.
The hydroelectric power station, equipped with four tube turbines, generates 75 million kilowatt-hours annually, providing electricity for 20,000 households.
