The Weir Group Quitzöbel regulates the discharge and the flow rate of the Havel, which used to flow further upstream into the Elbe. In order to avoid backwater in the Havel and its floodplain when the Elbe level is too high, for example, the Havel is diverted further down the Elbe via the Gnevsdorfer receiving water.

Overall, the Wehrgruppe Quitzöbel consists of 4 weir systems.
The Wehrgruppe Quitzöbel protects the Havel lowland before Elbehochwasser, serves the capping of a flood peak of the Elbe, regulates the water level of the Lower Havel and allows a Niedrigwasseraufhöhung the Elbe.
The Wehrgruppe Quitzöbel is a listed building.
