    At the Markter Dam, the Rhine divides into the Grand Canal d'Alsace and the Old Rhine. The Markter Dam was built between 1928 and 1932 and is part of the Kembs hydroelectric power plant. The Grand Canal d'Alsace, which runs parallel to the Old Rhine between Märkt and Breisach, was also constructed in this context. The weir at Märkt regulates the water flow into the Old Rhine, which was corrected in the 19th century. The two weirs dam up the Rhine, causing it to flow slowly northward. The weir then leads to the Rhine island between the Grand Canal d'Alsace and the Old Rhine, where a path leads to the Kembs power plant.
