How do I find an impressive structure!
Wikipedia says;
In October 1964, construction began east of the natural Ostelaufes in the district Balje, districts Hörne and Neuhaus, near the mouth of the Elbe by digging a large open pit, which was kept dry by lowering the groundwater by 101 wells with associated pumps. This huge pit was protected by new dykes against possible storm surges, a large transshipment point for gravel and other building materials was on the old arm of the Oste, in today's Baltic Sea - on the sheet pile still visible - built. In the spring of 1966 all preliminary work was completed and concrete work could begin. Here, a part of the sole was poured with the associated concrete pier in one step. A total of 20,000 m³ of concrete was processed. The entire concrete body is framed by a steel sheet piling and with casement walls by a steel tension pile anchorage
