Staustufe Enkirch, Navigation barrage in Enkirch, Germany.

The Enkirch dam contains a lock system measuring 170 by 12 meters for ships and a smaller lock of 18 by 3.2 meters for boats.

The Enkirch barrage was constructed in 1964 as part of the Moselle River canalization project, creating a water retention length of 20.83 kilometers.

The barrage serves as a central point along the Moselle River, connecting multiple hiking trails that showcase the regional wine-growing heritage.

The hydroelectric power plant at Enkirch, operated by RWE Generation Hydro since 1966, generates 18.4 megawatts of electrical power.

The structure features lift gates that move vertically instead of traditional horizontal opening mechanisms, positioned between Enkirch and Kövenig.
