Schleuse Neukirchen, Lock structure in Essen, Germany
The Neukirchen Lock spans 42.9 meters in length and 5.65 meters in width, featuring a chamber with a drop height of 4.2 meters.
Between 1776 and 1778, the lock was constructed as part of a network of 16 structures that enabled coal transportation from Mark County to the Rhine.
The former grain mill building on the lock island, known as White Mill, now serves as a facility for the Folkwang University.
The lock underwent extensive renovations from 1986 to 1987 after receiving protected monument status on August 12, 1986.
The wooden swing gates originated from Horst Lock but were removed following severe flood damage in June 2021.
