    Hiking

    This weir was the prototype of the world's first roller weir.

    The construction was first used in 1903 by the MAN company as a locking device both for the bottom outlet and for the weir in the main arm of the Main to regulate the water level and for safe ice discharge. The particular advantage was the easy mobility of the originally 35 meter long roller.

    The weir under the Schweinfurt Maxbrücke is the first and oldest roller weir in the world.
