Staustufe Enkirch, Navigation barrage in Enkirch, Germany.

Staustufe Enkirch is a lock and weir on the Moselle at kilometre 103.01, between Enkirch and Traben-Trarbach. Its ship lock measures 170 by 12 metres, and a separate boat lock measures 18 by 3.2 metres. The weir holds the water at 100.5 metres above sea level, a drop of 7.5 metres, and the adjoining run-of-river power station dates from 1966.

Built in 1964 as part of the canalisation of the Moselle, the barrage lies at Moselle-km 103.01 and holds a 20.83 km stretch of water at a target level of 100.5 m above sea level. The drop is 7.5 m. The adjoining Enkirch run-of-river power station followed in 1966, rated at 18.4 MW and operated by RWE Generation Hydro.

The lock lies between Enkirch and Traben-Trarbach, two Moselle wine towns, and its name comes from Enkirch on the right bank. The Moselle canalization of 1964 made the river navigable for freight, linking these wine villages to Rhine shipping. The lock is administered by the Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt Mosel-Saar-Lahn.

The barrage lies at Moselle-km 103.01 between Enkirch and Traben-Trarbach, with the lock chambers on the river and the Enkirch run-of-river power station beside them. The large ship lock measures 170 by 12 metres and the small boat lock 18 by 3.2 metres, so both freight vessels and pleasure craft can be watched passing through. Approach on foot along the Moselle bank; the site is managed by the Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt Mosel-Saar-Lahn.

The Enkirch lock's ship chamber measures 170 by 12 metres, while a separate small-boat lock of 18 by 3.2 metres sits alongside it. The adjoining run-of-river power station, built in 1966, has a capacity of 18.4 megawatts and is run by RWE Generation Hydro.
