The Gnevsdorf Weir is located at the end of the approximately 10km stretch on the island between the receiving waters and the Elbe River. It has been passable again since 2024. Impressive engineering.

Since the Elbe fluctuates much more than the Havel, there is another weir directly at the mouth of the receiving water. It has no function during high water, but when the Elbe is low it prevents the Havel from draining.

In total, the Quitzöbel defense group consists of four defense systems. It is the last barrage of the Havel. The Quitzöbel defense group protects the Havel lowlands from Elbe floods, serves to cut off a flood crest of the Elbe, regulates the water level of the Lower Havel and enables the Elbe to increase in low water levels.
