Abstract
The barrier proposed by the invention consists of gate elements or components which move on inclined planes, characterized by the fact that in the rest position on the edge of the waterway, preferably on the shore, the gate elements or components can be inserted inside one another in telescope fashion. With suitable lengths of the foundations forming the inclined planes, the gate elements which can be moved in tracks independently of one another can be removed completely from the water and pushed together above the average high water level. The cross section of the gate elements has a triangular shape, whereby the ocean-side supports the dam wall and the inland side primarily absorbs the bracing forces.
