The Geesthacht Barrage, commissioned in 1960, is located southwest of the Schleswig-Holstein town of Geesthacht and dams the Elbe River at 4 m above sea level. It thus limits the tidal influence of the North Sea upstream.
Along with the Cracauer Waterfall, a permanent low-water weir on the Alte Elbe River
near Magdeburg, it is the only barrage on the river in Germany.
The barrage consists of a weir with a fish ladder and a lock channel
with a double lock. Another fish ladder was completed in September 2010.

Very pretty and there are almost always ships to watch. There are also great opportunities for beautiful tours from here, in every direction!
