Gambsheim barrage, Run-of-the-river power station and barrage between Gambsheim and Rheinau, France and Germany.
Gambsheim barrage is a dam structure that spans the Rhine between Gambsheim and Rheinau, converting water flow into electricity. The structure combines power generation equipment with a navigation lock and flood control in a single installation.
The installation was built in the mid-20th century and marked an important step in joint energy production between France and Germany. The project showed how the two nations could work together despite their past.
The facility shows how France and Germany work together on energy production. It stands as a shared project that connects both nations on the river.
Visitors can learn how the installation converts water into power through tours and educational materials. It helps to check visiting times in advance and plan your route to reach the site.
The navigation lock allows boats to pass through while water is held for power generation at the same time. This dual function makes it an important link for both shipping and energy production.
