Staustufe Zeltingen, Water barrage on the Moselle River in Zeltingen-Rachtig, Germany.

The Zeltingen barrage contains two shipping locks measuring 170 by 12 meters and 210 by 12.5 meters, plus a smaller boat lock of 18 by 3.3 meters.

The construction of the Staustufe Zeltingen in 1964 marked the first dual-lock system implementation on the Moselle River, enhancing regional water transportation capabilities.

The barrage integrates with the surrounding Moselle wine region, where vessels navigate through locks while passing traditional vineyard landscapes along the riverbanks.

The facility manages a water level difference of 6 meters and maintains a controlled elevation of 106.5 meters above sea level for consistent river navigation.

The connected hydroelectric power plant, operated by RWE Generation Hydro, generates 13.6 megawatts of electricity while facilitating water traffic management.
