The Wallstadt barrage is a barrage of the Main at Main km 101.37 between Kleinwallstadt and Großwallstadt . It dams the Main over a length of 11.680 km ( Klingenberg lock ). The next lock downstream from the Main is just under 8.5 kilometers away in Obernau .
history
The expansion of the Main by building barrages took place in several steps upstream. The Wallstadt barrage is in the third construction phase, which was realized between 1926 and 1941.
Building
The barrage includes a weir system, a chamber lock, a boat lock, a fish ladder and a power station. The barrage is part of the " Route of Industrial Culture Rhine-Main ".
Weir system
The weir system consists of three cylindrical gates made of steel, each of which is supported by mighty concrete weir pillars standing in the river. An iron weir walkway for maintenance work runs above the weir.
lock
The chamber lock is on the left of the river (Großwallstadt district) and is 299.93 m long and 12.00 m wide. The Main is approved for vehicles / associations with a length of 90.00 m and a width of 11.45 m (the permitted length may be up to 110.00 m for a vehicle and up to 190.00 for an association m can be increased if the vehicle or the formation is equipped with an active bow steering device and a voice connection between the steering position and the tip of the vehicle or formation).
Between the weir and the lock there is a boat lock with a usable width of 2.50 m and a usable length of 12 m. This can be reached on radio channel 78.
power plant
The run-of-river power station belonging to the barrage is located on the right side of the river (Kleinwallstadt district) and has been in operation since 1930. The power plant is part of the Rhein-Main-Donau AG and the E.ON operated. With a drop height of 4 meters, the two Kaplan turbines generate an output of 3.40 MW , which corresponds to a standard energy capacity of 21.0 GWh per year.
