Anderten lock, Water-saving lock in Misburg-Anderten, Germany.

Anderten Lock is a double chamber lock on the Mittelland Canal that links different water levels along the waterway. The structure allows vessels to navigate between sections of the canal despite the elevation changes.

This lock was built between 1924 and 1928 as a crucial part of a new canal system designed to improve inland water transport. Its completion marked an important milestone in regional infrastructure development.

The lock represents German engineering excellence through its integration into the architectural heritage group system An der Schleuse.

The lock is accessible from walking paths and viewing areas where you can watch vessels passing through. Visit during daylight hours to observe the operation and see ships in action.

The lock employs a specialized chamber design that reduces water loss when vessels pass through different levels. This system was an innovative solution for water conservation when the structure was built.
