The dam would have to be in German waters (German Bight, furthest point outwards is Heligoland) or far out in the North Sea (Edit: not in international waters, we're all close here, there aren't any between the continent and the UK). Denmark could in theory cut off the Baltic countries, but for international shipping, they'll often take the Kiel canal that cuts through Northern Germany between the Baltic Sea and the Elbe river (close to the mouth where it flows into the North Sea) because they're often delivering to Germany or transfer the load in Germany or the Netherlands to bigger ships that'll take it where ever it needs to go (and the canal route is considerably shorter).
