Schleuse Raffelberg, Lock system at Ruhr shipping canal in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.
The Raffelberg Lock manages water levels on the Ruhr shipping canal, enabling vessels to navigate between different elevations through its concrete chambers.
The lock construction marked a significant period in the Ruhr region's industrial development, supporting maritime trade through the waterway network.
This architectural heritage monument represents North Rhine-Westphalia's engineering excellence, demonstrating German precision in water management infrastructure.
Visitors can access observation points near the lock chambers to watch vessels pass through the system throughout operating hours.
The lock maintains exact measurements between water levels, requiring 4.5 million liters of water for each vessel passage through its chambers.
