Schleuse Bevergern, Navigation lock in Hörstel, Germany.

The Bevergern Lock operates on the Dortmund-Ems Canal with a chamber length of 163 meters and width of 9.93 meters, managing an elevation change of 8.1 meters.

Construction of the lock began in 1914 and finished in 1916, marking a significant advancement in German waterway infrastructure during the early twentieth century.

The lock represents German engineering excellence in water management and continues to serve as an educational site for understanding maritime transportation systems.

The lock operates daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM except on holidays, with a control center in Bergeshövede managing all vessel passages.

This facility forms the southernmost component of the Rheine lock staircase system, which overcomes a height difference of 29 meters across a 29-kilometer stretch.
