    ICHE 2014, Hamburg - Lehfeldt & Kopmann (eds) - © 2014 Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau ISBN 978-3-939230-32-8 Morphodynamic Evolution in the Mouth of the Elbe Estuary: Effects of the Training Wall Construction “Kugelbake” A. Plüß Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute, Hamburg, Germany P. Milbradt smile consult GmbH, Hannover, Germany ABSTRACT: The mouth of the Elbe estuary is one of the most morphodynamic active regions in the German Bight. Furthermore, the fairway in the mouth of the Elbe is a major gateway for container ships connecting the harbor of Hamburg to the world. Hence it is important to investigate the effect of man- made measures in terms of the morphodynamic reaction. Between 1950 - 1973 and 1975 - 1978 the training wall “Kugelbake” was constructed as a dam in the mouth of the Elbe estuary. The reason was to prevent the delta-like opening of the Elbe estuary from de- veloping a naturally formed “three channel” configuration. After finishing the main dam for a length of about 10 km and several short transverse groins, morphologi- cal reactions have been observed in the vicinity. Amongst other reasons, the construction resulted in a deepening of the main channel and the development of many scours around it. Many efforts are needed to sustain the current configuration of the dam and the local bathymetry, which is mainly accomplished by dumping of dredged material near the dam and repairing the rock-fill embankment. Keywords: Morphodynamics, Training wall, Dam, Construction, Erosion, Sedimentation, Elbe estuary 1 INTRODUCTION The mouth of the Elbe estuary is one of the most morphodynamic active regions in the German Bight.
