Schleuse Niegripp, Navigation lock in Burg, Germany.
The lock measures 165 meters in length and 12.2 meters in width, connecting waterways east of the Elbe River to the main watercourse.
Built between 1936 and 1938, this structure replaced an older lock from 1872 that was situated 2.6 kilometers northeast of the current location.
The lock forms part of the regional water management system, reflecting German engineering traditions in maritime infrastructure development.
The facility operates continuously throughout the year with specialized protocols during low water conditions, requiring boat registration via VHF channel 22.
The lock features variable fall heights from 5.20 meters to minus 1.35 meters due to Elbe River water level fluctuations.
