View across the weir towards the power plant
After a weir had already been built in Bremen-Hemelingen as the endpoint of the Lower Weser correction project, another weir was constructed in Dörverden between 1907 and 1914 to allow the release of Weser water for the irrigation of agricultural land between Hoya and Bremen during dry periods.[1] The first weir, a steel lattice structure, was built in 1911/1912 by the company Aug. Klönne.[2]
The Dörverden weir at Weser kilometer 308.8, along with the current weir, was built between 1931 and 1933 as the second weir on the Middle Weser River to maintain a more consistent water level and to make the waterway navigable for large ships. The weir is 104.90 m wide and consists of two 40 m wide sections; the third section is 24.90 m wide. The impoundment height is 4.60 m. In summer, the upstream water level is kept constant at 14.60 m above sea level, and in winter at 15.10 m above sea level. The weir is operated by the Waterways and Shipping Authority Verden.[3]

But you can also drive directly to the Weser and enjoy the view of Barme which is on the other side of the Weser.

Verden is always worth seeing. Dom and Aller very nice and the city center invites you to take a break.
A little tip in Hoya, the cinema has a beer garden right on the Weser, very cool.
