Kaiser lock, Maritime lock in Bremerhaven, Germany
The Kaiserschleuse lock connects the Kaiserhäfen I-III with the Weser River through a 305-meter-long and 55-meter-wide passage system.
Built in 1897 at a cost of 18.5 million Marks, the original Kaiserschleuse lock stood as the largest maritime gateway of its time.
The lock complex includes residential buildings on Inselstraße, constructed between 1878 and 1914 for port administration employees managing the facility.
Following extensive renovations from 2007 to 2011, the lock now accommodates large car transport vessels, supporting Bremerhaven's position in automotive logistics.
During the 2011 inauguration, 327 boats formed the longest ship chain in the world, earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
