Schleuse Oberhausen, Navigation lock in Oberhausen, Germany
The Oberhausen Lock features two parallel chambers measuring 190 meters in length, enabling vessels to navigate through a 4.10-meter elevation difference in the Rhine-Herne Canal.
The southern chamber of the lock was built between 1977 and 1979, while the northern chamber was completed in 1984 to meet increasing maritime traffic demands.
The lock facility represents a central element of German industrial heritage, demonstrating the evolution of waterway engineering in the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Both lock chambers operate independently to maintain continuous navigation, with the southern chamber measuring 11.99 meters in width and the northern chamber spanning 11.88 meters.
The lock performs over 10,000 vessel transfers annually, functioning as a critical connection point in Germany's inland waterway network for commercial and recreational vessels.
