Dückerschleuse, Heritage lock in Witzeeze, Germany.
The Dückerschleuse consists of a sandstone and granite structure with wooden gates, situated along the former Stecknitz Canal near the Mecklenburg border.
Built in 1789 and reconstructed in 1815 after French troops destroyed it, the lock functioned as part of the waterway connecting Lübeck to Lauenburg until 1900.
The lock complex includes a lockmaster's house from 1720, a passage barn, and the burial site of the last lockmaster family named Burmester.
Visitors can reach the lock by following a marked path along the eastern bank of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal from Witzeeze to a parking area with information boards.
The Dückerschleuse operated by storing water for several days using a single pair of gates before allowing ships to pass through during designated release days.
