This huge barrier prevents water from flooding the hinterland during storm surges. A cycle path runs right on top of it.

The Eidersperrwerk mainly serves the storm surge protection and fulfilled its duties since 1973. It is a very imposing structure, but the huge gates give an idea of the tremendous power of the water during a storm surge. Each gate alone weighs 250 tons and is 40m long!

The barrage is interesting because of the technology alone. After the storm surge in Hamburg had also affected nearby Tönning in 1962, raising the dikes or a barrage was up for discussion and the decision was made to use the barrage. Construction began in 1967. At that time, the construction costs were very high at around 170 million marks. Furthermore, the barrage is also known for its colonies of several thousand birds, which also like to attack visitors if they get too close if there are disturbances in the breeding season.
