The facility, built between 1953 and 1956, dams the Weser river (head of approx. 5.20 meters). An integrated run-of-river power plant uses the water power with three turbines for sustainable electricity generation.

The old station now houses the "Tasse und Teller" cafe. They serve coffee, cake, and small dishes, but don't expect large portions, and the service drops off abruptly once served. It's a real shame. Perhaps the view of the heritage railway, which departs from here every weekend between May and October, as well as on Advent weekends, makes up for it. Those interested are also welcome to visit the maintenance workshop on operating days, where additional vehicles can be viewed.
