Iffezheim Lock, River lock in Iffezheim, Germany

The Iffezheim Lock features two parallel chambers measuring 270 meters in length and 24 meters in width on the Upper Rhine River.

Construction of the Iffezheim Lock began in 1974 as part of a German-French infrastructure project, with operations commencing in March 1977.

The lock represents a milestone in French-German cooperation, enabling continuous navigation and trade flow between both nations along the Rhine.

The facility operates non-stop throughout the year, processing an average of 107 commercial vessels daily with a water level adjustment rate of 1.5 meters per minute.

The lock system includes 37 connected basins forming a fish passage, enabling the migration of aquatic species through the Rhine's waterway system.
