Staustufe Wintrich, Lock and barrage in Wintrich, Germany
The Staustufe Wintrich integrates a lock system, hydroelectric power plant, and water control mechanisms along the Moselle River near Minheim.
Construction of the Staustufe Wintrich began in 1956 and concluded in 1963, marking a major development in the Moselle River navigation infrastructure.
The barrage serves as the eighth of twelve water control points on the main 242-kilometer stretch between Koblenz and Apach.
Large cargo vessels passing through the lock chamber can transport up to 4000 tons of freight, with each passage taking approximately 35 minutes.
The hydroelectric facility generates 90 million kilowatt-hours annually using four Kaplan turbines, providing electricity for 24,000 households.
