Schleuse Spandau, Shipping lock in Spandau district, Germany
The Schleuse Spandau lock connects the Lower and Upper Havel Waterway with chambers measuring 115 meters in length and 12.5 meters in width.
A flood channel existed at the location since the 13th century, with the first chamber lock constructed around 1572 to facilitate water level transitions.
The lock represents a central element of Berlin's maritime infrastructure, connecting the capital city with the Baltic Sea through the Havel waterway system.
Commercial vessels receive priority passage through the lock, with each complete operation taking approximately 30 minutes from entry to exit point.
The facility processes more cargo ships than any other lock in Berlin, managing a water level difference between 1.8 and 2.4 meters.
