Lehnitzschleuse, Navigation lock in Oranienburg, Germany

The Lehnitz Lock consists of two sections along the Havel-Oder waterway, featuring a chamber measuring 125 meters long and 11.92 meters wide.

The initial lock construction started in 1910, followed by a larger second lock completed in 1940 during the expansion of German waterway infrastructure.

Near the lock stands a memorial exhibition documenting the history of forced labor at the Klinkerwerk satellite camp during World War II.

The lock operates from January through December with specific hours: Monday to Saturday 06:00-21:30 and Sunday 07:00-21:30.

The facility maintains a water level difference of 5.65 meters, making it instrumental for commercial vessel navigation between Berlin and Szczecin.
