Oldau barrage, Hydroelectric power station and barrage in Hambühren and Winsen an der Aller, Germany.
The Oldau barrage spans across the Aller River, incorporating both a power generation facility and a water control system with a lock mechanism.
Built between 1910 and 1911, the hydroelectric power station operated continuously until its retirement in 1982, maintaining its original structural elements throughout its service.
The Hambühren Heritage Association organizes guided tours of the facility, presenting the regional development of water power utilization in northern Germany.
Visitors can access the site through designated walking paths that connect to the Museumshof Winsen an der Aller, with parking available near the Allerbrücke.
The Oldau facility stands as the only hydroelectric power station in northern Germany that maintains its original construction state from the early 20th century.
