    The Emswehr Rheine is a structure for regulating the water balance of the Ems in the area of the city of Rheine. It also serves to make the Ems navigable and to generate hydropower. It is one of the city's landmarks. The Emswehr in Rheine consists of the weir itself and a side canal along with two locks on the eastern bank. A free flood and a fish passage are connected to the weir. On the western bank of the river, in the old Emsmühle, there is a modern run-of-river power plant with a turbine channel, which feeds the water behind the limestone cliffs back into the Ems. The salt works canal begins at the old Emsmühle and leads to the former salt works in Bentlage, where a water wheel was driven.
