Gambsheim barrage, Run-of-the-river power station and barrage between Gambsheim and Rheinau, France and Germany.
The Gambsheim barrage spans across the Rhine River, incorporating hydroelectric turbines that convert water flow into electrical power for both nations.
The construction of this power station in the mid-20th century marked a significant development in Franco-German cooperation for renewable energy production.
The facility represents a joint energy management approach between France and Germany, demonstrating successful cross-border infrastructure collaboration.
