In the 50s and 60s, the Moselle between Thionville (Diedenhofen) and Koblenz was expanded into a major shipping route, thus connecting the Lorraine industrial area with the Rhine and Ruhr. This was achieved by means of barrages, which damm the river accordingly and generate electricity. Large locks 172 m long and 12 m wide allow cargo ships and even push convoys to get on and off. Interested visitors are happy to watch the mighty ships rise and fall.
The Enkirch lock is one of 12 Moselle locks in Germany.
Unfortunately, the lock cannot be visited as the power plant belongs to RWE and the elevator belongs to the Mosel-Saar-Lahn Waterways and Shipping Office
