    This is the barrage 1 at Burghausen (Bienitz), barrage 2 can be found near Günthersdorf.
    The barrages became necessary because sections of the canal ran up to 16 meters above ground level. This allowed you to regulate the water level or drain the water in an emergency. The horizontal canal structures with the lowerable locking gates on the barrier 1 were dismantled in 1943. The barrier 2 was never completed. The lifting systems were powered by hydropower.
    To the barrages is still a relief work, this is located 290 meters from barrage 1 away (direction Günthersdorf) and is still in operation today.

        Should be preserved as a technical monument.
