Staustufe Trier, Hydraulic barrage on Moselle River in Trier, Germany.

The Staustufe Trier regulates water levels with two locks measuring 170 by 12 meters and 210 by 12.5 meters for vessel navigation.

Built in 1964, this barrage represents a significant advancement in German water management infrastructure during the post-war industrial development period.

The barrage integrates with Trier's urban landscape, connecting the modern engineering requirements with the ancient Roman heritage of the city.

The structure includes a fish ladder and a hydroelectric power plant that generates 18.8 megawatts of renewable energy for the region.

The control center, inaugurated in 2021, manages water levels across a 17-kilometer stretch of the Moselle River with a height difference of 7.25 meters.
