Staustufe Lehmen, River barrage system in Lehmen, Germany.

The Lehmen barrage consists of a lock chamber measuring 170 meters in length and 12 meters in width on the Moselle River.

The construction of the Lehmen barrage, completed in 1961, established a vital water management system located 20 kilometers from the Moselle River mouth.

The structure integrates water management infrastructure with regional development, supporting both commercial navigation and power generation through its hydroelectric plant.

The barrage maintains consistent water levels for vessel navigation while the adjacent power station generates 20 megawatts of electrical power for local consumption.

A second lock chamber measuring 210 meters by 12.5 meters is under construction to accommodate larger cargo vessels on the Moselle River.
