Schleuse Herne-Ost, Canal lock in Herne, Germany.

The Herne-Ost lock operates with twin chambers measuring 190 meters in length and 12 meters in width on the Rhine-Herne Canal.

The lock began its operations in 1914 as part of the Rhine-Herne Canal system and underwent substantial renovations between 1986 and 1992.

The lock structure represents German engineering excellence in water management, connecting industrial regions through the Rhine-Herne Canal network.

Vessels passing through the lock chambers experience a water level difference of 12.8 meters, with each passage taking approximately 14 minutes.

A marina called Herner Meer occupies the upper basin space, which previously served the Friedrich der Große coal mine operations.
