Schleusentreppe Niederfinow, Staircase locks in Niederfinow, Germany

The Niederfinow lock staircase incorporates four chamber locks with a total height difference of 36 meters along the Oder-Havel Canal system.

From 1912 to 1972, the staircase locks served as the primary water transport connection, enabling vessels up to 600 tons to navigate between different canal levels.

The staircase structure represents German engineering excellence from the early 20th century, demonstrating advanced hydraulic technology and water management solutions.

The site remains closed to public access, with certain sections undergoing material extraction while nature gradually reclaims the remaining concrete structures.

Each lock chamber measured 67 meters in length and 10 meters in width, utilizing specialized spar technology that reduced water loss to only 40 percent.
