Schleuse Meiderich, Navigation lock in Meiderich district, Duisburg, Germany
The Schleuse Meiderich stands as a single-chamber water lock on the Rhein-Herne-Kanal, measuring 190 meters in length and 12 meters in width.
Constructed in 1914 as Lock I with sliding gates, the structure underwent complete reconstruction between 1978 and 1980 to accommodate larger vessels.
The lock represents the industrial development of the Ruhr region, connecting waterways for transportation of goods through North Rhine-Westphalia.
The facility operates through automated systems managed by a single controller, allowing vessels to navigate between different water levels throughout the day.
During Rhine flooding events, the lock features a specialized floodgate system that enables reversed upstream operation rather than standard downstream flow.
