18. Épanchoir

Show sight on map

The Epanchoir is a hydraulic structure in the Dreikönigenviertel in Neuss, which connects the Upper Erft and the North Canal and was intended to regulate the water level in the canal, which was to connect the Rhine with Antwerp. Napoleon Bonaparte had it built in 1809. Chief engineer Aimable Hageau was in charge. The lock had four openings, which were equipped with adjustable iron protection panels. This made it possible to control the flow of water. However, the structure was not used as planned, as the Netherlands became French in 1810 and so did the Dutch seaports. The canal project was then not pursued further. In the Epanchoir there was also a bathing establishment, which belonged to the so-called "Gütchen" and was recommended by all Neuss doctors in 1848. In 1858, the Neuss Augustinian Sisters bought the estate and with it the bathhouse.
