Sluice Kleinmachnow, Lock system at Teltow Canal, Kleinmachnow, Germany.
Sluice Kleinmachnow is a lock on the Teltow Canal with steel gates and chambers that control water levels between different canal sections. The structure allows vessels to navigate elevation differences in the waterway and regulates traffic on this important shipping route.
The structure was begun in 1901 and built between 1901 and 1906 in response to growing demands of inland shipping. Its construction was part of modernizing the Teltow Canal as a key waterway connecting Berlin and Brandenburg.
The lock stands as a representation of German engineering excellence and remains on the Brandenburg cultural heritage protection list.
The site sits directly on the banks of the Teltow Canal and is easily accessible from the footpath to view from the side. Visitors can observe the lock from the canal side without needing tickets or special permissions.
The lock system incorporates specialized mechanisms that allow vessels to navigate a 3-meter elevation change in the waterway.
