Schleuse Zaaren

The Zaaren lock features a chamber measuring 42.79 meters in length and 5.6 meters in width, controlling water levels with a 0.92-meter drop.

The lock underwent substantial renovations in 2018, facing delays due to munition discoveries before reopening in April 2020 for regular water traffic.

The lock forms an essential connection point between Berlin and the Mecklenburg Lake District, supporting regional water tourism and recreational activities.

Visitors can operate the automated lock system independently, with varying seasonal hours from 7:00 to 18:00 in winter and extended hours during summer months.

The facility maintains specific elevation parameters at 47.28 meters above sea level, enabling precise water level control for passing vessels.
