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.

A lock channel with a double lock, built north of the weir, is used to overcome the barrage for shipping. The two lock chambers,
with a length of 230 meters and a width of 25 meters, can each accommodate four large motor vessels or a corresponding push convoy. The four lifting gates are moved electromechanically and with minimal effort by counterweights in the lock towers. The lock is usually operated as a twin lock:
The empty basin is initially filled with one-third of the full volume through a filling channel in the wall between the two chambers. The chambers are then completely filled or emptied without surges by gently lifting the respective upper or lower gate.

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