Schleuse Schönwalde, Navigation lock at Havelkanal, Germany

The Schönwalde lock features a chamber measuring 82.20 meters in length and 12 meters in width, with a maximum drop height of 2.25 meters.

The lock began operations on June 18, 1952, connecting the Lower Havel Waterway with the Upper Havel Waterway, enabling ships to bypass Berlin.

The lock structure reflects post-war German engineering, incorporating design adaptations due to material limitations while maintaining operational efficiency.

The lock operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with restricted hours during holidays and complete closure on weekends.

Both the upper and lower heads of the lock share identical construction, allowing for simplified maintenance through interchangeable gate components.
