🚢 The Oldenburg Lock is a key transportation hub for shipping in the region and is located directly next to the Upper Hunte hydroelectric power plant. The lock is situated in an area of great importance for water management, as it also contains the weir for regulating the water level and the aforementioned hydroelectric power plant for energy generation.

🚢 The confluence of the Hunte, Küstenkanal and Osternburger Kanal forms an important hydrological junction in Oldenburg, which is of central importance for shipping, water level regulation and nature conservation.

🌉 The Amalienbrücke in Oldenburg is an important crossing over the Küstenkanal, just before it flows into the Hunte (or vice versa, depending on the direction of travel).

Great beer garden right on the water

The Oldenburg bascule railway bridge crosses the Hunte, which is 60 meters wide. It is a listed building. The bridge serves the two railway lines Oldenburg – Bremen and Oldenburg – Osnabrück. It was built between 1946 and 1954 near the Oldenburg railway water tower as a replacement for the swing bridge from 1866, which was destroyed in 1945. It is for train traffic (double-track, with overhead lines since electrification in 1982) as well as pedestrians and cyclists.

Railway bascule bridge The route to Oldenburg main station leads from the direction of Bremen and from the direction of Osnabrück over the bascule railway bridge that spans the Hunte. Cyclists and pedestrians can also cross the river here - and enjoy the view of the city landscape along the water and the harbor. The third bridge at this point The roller bascule bridge has enabled ship traffic to the city port since 1954, as its flaps open up to 20 times a day - by the way, with a hydraulic drive, which replaced the old electric motors in 2002. When it was completed after around eight years of construction, it was the largest bascule railway bridge in Europe. It replaced the rigid bridge that had made it possible to temporarily cross the Hunte for around ten years after the Second World War, after the old swing bridge from 1866 was destroyed at the end of the war.

This is a great and interesting architectural monument

The bridge is worth a photo stop. You should also treat yourself to the feeling of standing on the bridge when a train passes over it...unique. Definitely a stop when the bridge is folded up for ship traffic. A real landmark of Oldenburg.
