    A bridge that when you stand in front of it has incredible dimensions.

      Next to the bridge, the "Hanseatenweg" leads through a small wetland. A good alternative to the road towards Cranz. An old wooden bridge is currently not accessible (5/2020), but the path leads through an apple orchard.

        I have never seen the bridge in operation.

            The barrage is flood protection for the Sietas shipyard behind it. The bridge itself is a technical feast for the eyes and was brought up to date in 2000 in order to cope with the increased volume of traffic with a stronger bridge construction.

                The outer Este storm surge barrier, which was spanned by a large bascule bridge, has been located between HH-Cranz and HH-Neuenfelde since 1967, just before the estuary of the Este. The old barrage was built after the storm surge of 1962 as part of the 1964-1967 pre-dyke and originally had a passage width of 22 m. At the insistence of the Sietas shipyard above, a new barrage with a passage width of 40 m was built in 1996 began. The shipyard shared half of the construction costs of DM 90 million. The new barrage was built next to the old one and officially opened on April 22, 1999 with the passage of the RoRo ship "Elisabeth Russ".

                  Attention: The HBLE ferry (Hamburg-Blankenese-Este-Linie) does not go to Neuenfelde and Cranz when the water is low, but instead to and from Finkenwerder. The information as to whether she is currently driving is not available on the Internet, but is only noted on a chalk board on site. As a rule of thumb: The tide varies between 0 meters and 3 meters above sea level. If the tide is less than 1 meter above sea level, the ferry does not go to Neuenfelde and Cranz.

                      quite impressive installation of a barrage for drainage

                        Imposing building, but the time of the big boats, for which the bridge had to be raised, seems to be over after the closure of the adjacent shipyard.

                          After the storm surge in 1962, the Estes barrier was built, which today is the only building of noteworthy architectural relevance in the town. The barrage was replaced by a new building between 1996 and 2000 and has a clear passage width of 40 m.

                              A very interesting building to look at, which with its mightiness doesn't really fit into the landscape. However, the shipping traffic on the Este is regulated and the landscape should be protected from flooding.
