    The barrage on Billwerder Bay connects the Hamburg district of Rothenburgsort with the Elbe island Kaltehofe and is the second largest in Germany after the Eider barrage. The facility has been protecting the city from storm surges since 1965 and has served many Hamburgers as a place for a wide range of leisure activities.

    In 2002 the Billwerder Bucht barrage was renovated and increased. The 145 meter long barrage has been located 8.20 meters above sea level since then and thus offers more protection against floods.

    The Billwerder Bay is an ecologically valuable body of water and is used not only as an inland port, but also as a sports boat port. The diverse and large abundance of fish in the bay is mainly due to the changing water levels and attracts many anglers here. The Billwerder Bay and the barrage above it are also ideal for cyclists or runners. You will find first-class conditions for driving and running over flat terrain, which also offers great views of the water.

      From the barrage Billwerder Bay, worth the visit of the old-timer gas station Brandshof - Oldtimer gas station Brandshof. A beautiful route leads through the Elbpark Entenwerder and then past the Billhafen.

        Barrier not only looks great, but also important for water regulation. Good tour venue
