Schleuse Dorsten, Navigation lock in Dorsten, Germany.
The double lock system at Dorsten features a large chamber measuring 225 meters and a small chamber of 110 meters along the Wesel-Datteln Canal.
The primary lock chamber opened in 1931 as part of the canal infrastructure, while the secondary chamber was added in 1968 to handle increasing water traffic.
The lock complex integrates with regional cycling routes, connecting industrial heritage sites and recreational paths across the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The lock system processes approximately 90 vessels daily, with passage times ranging from 30 minutes for the small chamber to 60 minutes for the large chamber.
The facility includes five powerful pumps that can elevate water by 10.5 meters, maintaining optimal water levels throughout the canal network.
