The Eider Barrage in Tönning, Germany, is a significant flood protection structure located at the mouth of the Eider River. Completed in 1973, it serves as a crucial defense mechanism against storm surges from the North Sea, safeguarding the low-lying regions of Schleswig-Holstein. The barrage features a series of sluice gates and a lock, enabling the regulation of water levels and the passage of ships. Additionally, it plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of the area by controlling salinity levels and supporting local wildlife habitats.
