Schleuse Kelheim, Navigation lock in Kelheim, Germany.
The lock chamber at Schleuse Kelheim measures 190 meters in length and 12 meters in width, managing water level differences of 8.4 meters.
Built between 1976 and 1981, Schleuse Kelheim began operations in March 1989 as part of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal construction project.
The lock represents German engineering excellence in waterway infrastructure, connecting regions and facilitating trade between the North Sea and Black Sea.
The filling and emptying process of the lock chamber occurs through longitudinal channels with roller gates, completing a full cycle in approximately 10 minutes.
Since 2007, the lock operations have been controlled remotely from the WSV control center in Dietfurt, eliminating the need for local personnel.
