HOLLAND: Afsluitdijk / Enclosure Dam [HD]
The Afsluitdijk (English: Enclosure Dam) is a major causeway in the Netherlands. It is damming off the Waddenzee, a salt water inlet of the North Sea, from the fresh water lake of the IJsselmeer.
It was constructed between 1927 and 1933 and runs over a length of 32 kilometres (20 miles) and a width of 90 m, at an initial height of 7.25 m above sea-level.
The Afsluitdijk is a fundamental part of the larger Zuiderzee Works, a manmade system of dams, land reclamation and water drainage works, the largest hydraulic engineering project undertaken by the Netherlands during the twentieth century. Its main purposes are to improve flood protection and create additional land for agriculture.
Beside the dam itself is also the necessary construction of two complexes of shipping locks and discharge sluices at both ends of the dike. The complex at Den Oever includes the Stevin lock and 3 series of 5 sluices for discharging the IJsselmeer into the Wadden Sea. The other complex at Kornwerderzand is composed of the Lorentz locks and 2 series of 5 sluices. In total there are 25 discharge sluices. It is necessary to routinely discharge water from the lake since it is continually fed by rivers and stream and polders draining their water into the IJsselmeer.
The Afsluitdijk was Holland's first 130 kph road (1st of March 2011).

Niederlande: Der Abschlussdeich des Ijsselmeers- ein spektakuläres Bauwerk- Nederland Afsluitdijk
Der Abschlussdeich (Afsluitdijk) trennt das IJsellmeer von der Nordsee .
Der Abschlussdeich (niederländisch Afsluitdijk, westfriesisch Ofslútdyk) ist ein Sperrdamm (genaugenommen ein Deich, der Wasser von Land trennt) am Eingang der einstigen Zuiderzee zwischen Den Oever (Gemeinde Hollands Kroon, Provinz Nordholland) und Zurich bei Harlingen (Gemeinde Súdwest-Fryslân, Provinz Friesland). Auf die Gemeinde Súdwest-Fryslân entfallen rund 20 Kilometer des Abschlussdeichs, mit den auf künstlichen Inseln liegenden Orten Kornwerderzand und Breezanddijk. Die restlichen 12 Kilometer gehören zu der Gemeinde Hollands Kroon.
Der Deich ist 32 km lang und 90 Meter breit. Der Bau begann 1927, und der Deich wurde am 28. Mai 1932 fertiggestellt. Genau um 13:02 Uhr des genannten Tages wurde der Deich geschlossen und trennt seitdem das seit September 1932 offiziell IJsselmeer genannte Binnengewässer, die ehemalige Meeresbucht Zuiderzee, vom Wattenmeer und ist eines der Hauptelemente der Zuiderzeewerke. Über den Deich führt die vierspurige niederländische Autobahn Rijksweg 7 mit einer Halte-, Tank- und Wendemöglichkeit bei Breezanddijk. Dort befindet sich zudem auf beiden Seiten des Abschlussdeichs je ein Nothafen. Täglich fahren 9500 Fahrzeuge über den Abschlussdeich (Stand: 2009). Zusätzlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Abschlussdeich per Fahrrad auf einem eigenen Radweg zu überqueren. Aus Wikipedia
De Afsluitdijk is een belangrijke waterkering en verkeersweg in Nederland. De 32 kilometer lange waterkering sluit het IJsselmeer af van de Waddenzee. Hieraan ontleent de dijk zijn naam. De verkeersweg, onderdeel van Rijksweg 7, verbindt Noord-Holland met Friesland. Per dag reden er in 2009 ongeveer 9500 voertuigen per richting over de dijk.[1] Ten noorden van de snelweg ligt een 4 meter breed fietspad, waarvan ook wel gebruik wordt gemaakt door andere voertuigen die niet op de snelweg mogen rijden. De wegen liggen niet op het hoogste punt van de dijk maar ten zuiden daarvan, zodat de Waddenzee vanaf de weg niet zichtbaar is.
De Afsluitdijk is een onderdeel van de Zuiderzeewerken. In 1927 werd begonnen met de aanleg. In 1932 werd het laatste sluitgat (de Vlieter) gesloten. Een jaar later werd de dijk opengesteld voor het wegverkeer.

The Afsluitdijk (Closure Dike)
The Afsluitdijk (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑfslœyˌdɛik], Frisian: Ofslútdyk; English: Closure Dike) is a major causeway in the Netherlands, constructed between 1927 and 1932 and running from Den Oever on Wieringen in North Holland province, to the village of Zurich in Friesland province, over a length of 32 kilometres (20 mi) and a width of 90 metres (300 ft), at an initial height of 7.25 metres (23.8 ft) above sea-level.
It is a fundamental part of the larger Zuiderzee Works, damming off the Zuiderzee, a salt water inlet of the North Sea, and turning it into the fresh water lake of the IJsselmeer. The Afsluitdijk was the initial demonstration site for a 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph) speed limit in the Netherlands.

Afsluitdijk en Stevinsluizen bij Den Oever - Gemeente Hollands Kroon
De Stevinsluizen zijn een sluizencomplex in de Afsluitdijk bij Den Oever. Tezamen met de Lorentzsluizen bij Kornwerderzand beheersen zij het waterpeil van het IJsselmeer, en daarmee ook van het achterland. Het water van het IJsselmeer wordt gespuid op de Waddenzee. De Stevinsluizen zijn vernoemd naar Hendrik Stevin, die in 1667 het vroegst bekende plan publiceerde om de Zuiderzee af te sluiten.

The Afsluitdijk (English: Closure Dike, Frisian: Ofslútdyk) is a major causeway in the Netherlands, constructed between 1927 and 1933 and running from Den Oever on Wieringen in North Holland province, to the village of Zurich (mun. Wûnseradiel) in Friesland province, over a length of 32 km (20 miles) and a width of 90 m, at an initial height of 7.25 m above sea-level.
Der Abschlussdeich (niederländisch Afsluitdijk, friesisch Ofslútdyk) ist ein Sperrdamm (genaugenommen kein Deich, der Wasser von Land trennt) am Eingang der einstigen Zuiderzee zwischen Den Oever (Provinz Nordholland) und Zurich bei Harlingen (Provinz Friesland).
Er ist 32 km lang und 90 Meter breit und wurde am 28. Mai 1932 fertiggestellt. Genau um 13:02 Uhr des genannten Tages wurde der Deich geschlossen und trennt seitdem das seit September 1932 offiziell IJsselmeer genannte Binnengewässer, die ehemalige Meeresbucht Zuiderzee, vom Wattenmeer und ist eines der Hauptelemente der Zuiderzeewerke. Über den Deich führt die niederländische Autobahn Rijksweg 7 mit einer Halte-, Tank- und Wendemöglichkeit bei Breezanddijk.
Im Deich befinden sich die Schleusen von Den Oever und Kornwerderzand, bei der es 1940 einen militärischen Stützpunkt gab. Dieser war so stark, dass die zahlenmäßig stark unterlegene niederländische Armee die aufrückenden deutschen Truppen stoppen konnte, bis am 14. Mai 1940 die Kapitulation erfolgte. An jener Stelle befindet sich heute ein Kriegsdenkmal.
It is a fundamental part of the larger Zuiderzee Works, damming off the Zuiderzee, a salt water inlet of the North Sea and turning it into the fresh water lake of the IJsselmeer.
Previous experiences had demonstrated that till (boulder clay), rather than just sand or clay, was the best primary material for a structure like the Afsluitdijk, with the added benefit that till was in plentiful supply in the area; it could be retrieved in large quantities by simply dredging it from the bottom of the Zuiderzee. Work started at four points: on both sides of the mainland and on two specially made construction-islands (Kornwerderzand and Breezand) along the line of the future dike.
From these points, the dike slowly grew by ships depositing till into the open sea in two parallel lines. Sand was then poured in between the two dikes and as it emerged above the surface was then covered by another layer of till. The nascent dike was then strengthened from land by basalt rocks and mats of willow switch at its base. The dike could then be finished off by raising it further with sand and finally clay for the surface of the dike, on which grass was planted.
Construction progressed better than expected; at three points along the line of the dike there were deeper underwater trenches where the tidal current was much stronger than elsewhere. These had been considered to be major obstacles to completing the dike, but all of them proved to be relatively straightforward. On May 28, 1932, two years earlier than initially thought, the Zuiderzee ceased to be, as the last tidal trench of the Vlieter was closed by a final bucket of till. The IJsselmeer was born, even though it was still salty at the time.
The dike itself however was not finished yet as it still needed to be brought up to its required height and a road linking Friesland and North Holland (the current A7/E22 motorway) also remained to be built. It would not be until September 25, 1933, that the Afsluitdijk was officially opened, with a monument designed by architect Dudok marking the spot where the dike had been closed. The amount of material used is estimated at 23 million m³ of sand and 13.5 million m³ of till and over the years an average of around four to five thousand workers were involved with the construction every day, relieving some of the unemployment following the Great Depression.
Beside the dike itself there was also the necessary construction of two complexes of shipping locks and discharge sluices at both ends of the dike. The complex at Den Oever includes the Stevin lock (named after Hendric Stevin, a son of mathematician and engineer Simon Stevin) and three series of five sluices for discharging the IJsselmeer into the Wadden Sea; the other complex at Kornwerderzand is composed of the Lorentz locks (named after Hendrik Lorentz, the famous physicist, who personally did the calculations of the tides that were crucial to the construction of the Afsluitdijk) and two series of five sluices, making a total of 25 discharge sluices. Periodically discharging the lake is necessary since it is continually fed by rivers and streams (most notably the IJssel river that gives its name to the lake) and polders draining their water into the IJsselmeer.
The Afsluitdijk, The Netherlands
The Afsluitdijk (Enclosure Dam) is a major causeway in the Netherlands, constructed between 1927 and 1932 and running from Den Oever on Wieringen in North Holland province, to the village of Zurich in Friesland province, over a length of 32 kilometres (20 mi) and a width of 90 metres (300 ft), at an initial height of 7.25 metres (23.8 ft) above sea level.
It is a fundamental part of the larger Zuiderzee Works, damming off the Zuiderzee, a salt water inlet of the North Sea, and turning it into the fresh water lake of the IJsselmeer. The Afsluitdijk was the initial demonstration site for a 130 km/h (81 mph) speed limit in the Netherlands.[1]
Den Oever, Netherlands, September 2017
Den Oever is a town on the IJsselmeer. To the north is the North Sea, and to the south is the IJsselmeer. The causeway stretches 34 kays to a town called Zurich, on the Friesland side of the IJsselmeer.

Dichting van de Afsluitdijk
Fragmenten uit de film van de Harlinger filmmaker Gerrit Aalfs (1892-?) over de bouw en dichting van de Afsluitdijk in 1932. De film was o.a. in bezit van de Directie Zuiderzeewerken en daarom in heel Nederland te zien. Vanaf de twintiger jaren reisde Aalfs op zijn motorfiets door Friesland om te filmen en te fotograferen. Hij had een voorliefde voor de Wadden en de Zuidwesthoek van de provincie. In de jaren dertig was hij een van de drijvende krachten achter het filmerscollectief 'Film yn Fryslân'. Dit collectief maakte o.a. in 1937 de eerste Friese speelfilm: 'Kar út Twa' ('Keus uit Twee').
Deze film werd vertoond tijdens de eerste avond van de lezingen/documentairereeks Wadblik op 19 september 2011. Het Fries Film Archief presenteerde historische beelden over de Afsluitdijk: de bouw, de dichting (1932) en de verdere ontwikkeling van de dijk. Ook werden beelden getoond van een latere afsluitdijk, de dijk die de Lauwerszee afsloot (1969) en van de landaanwinning aan de noordkust van Friesland. Meer beelden over de Afsluitdijk en de landaanwinning kunt u vinden op friesfilmarchief.nl. Wadblik is een initiatief van de Waddenacademie, Fries Museum, Film in Friesland en de Nationale Unesco Commissie.
