Wasserübergabe Hamm, Hydraulic engineering structure at Datteln-Hamm Canal, Germany

The Wasserübergabe facility contains a pumping station and turbine system for regulating water flow between the Lippe River and canal network.

The structure began operations in 1914 following the opening of the Datteln-Hamm Canal, replacing an older pumping station at the Alte Fahrt bridge.

The facility represents North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial heritage as part of the region's extensive water management infrastructure and canal system.

This structure manages approximately 550 million cubic meters of water annually, maintaining water levels for navigation and environmental needs across western German canals.

The system includes a flap weir that elevates Lippe water to 58.15 meters, creating an elevation difference used for hydroelectric power generation.
