Technical monument that in the event of a flood in the Elbe, around 25% of the water around Schönebeck and Magdeburg is diverted through the circulation channel.

Ingenious old technical structure.
To protect Magdeburg from Elbe floods.
Worth seeing every year because the water levels are always different.
