The Lech barrage 18 is not only a technical structure, but also an important nature and recreation area. Here are some additional interesting facts and details: Technical features The barrage is part of a larger system of barrages along the Lech, which has been used to generate energy and regulate floods since the 1920s. The power plant itself uses Kaplan turbines, which are particularly efficient at lower head heights and ensure a uniform flow. This type of turbine is ideal for rivers such as the Lech, which have rather low gradients in this region. Ecological significance and renaturation Like many barrages, the Lech barrage 18 also has a major impact on nature. In recent decades, however, there have been extensive efforts to renature the banks and alluvial forests in order to protect the habitat for animals and plants and improve water quality. The floodplains of the Lech in particular offer valuable biotopes for numerous bird species, including rare species such as the little ringed plover and kingfisher populations.

S.P.Q.R. (also: SPQR) is the abbreviation for the Latin Senatus Populusque Romanus (“Senate and People of Rome” or “the (Roman) Senate and the Roman People”). This lettering was the national emblem of ancient Rome and can still be found today as a motto in the city's coat of arms. The legions of the Roman Empire carried it on their signs. In Rome today, many plaques, manhole covers, trash cans and public facilities are marked with these four letters. Source: wikipedia
