Schleuse Feudenheim, Lock system in Feudenheim, Mannheim, Germany.
Description
Schleuse Feudenheim is a lock system with three chambers managing water levels between the Neckar Canal and the Rhine in Mannheim. The facility connects different waterways and allows vessels to navigate between varying water elevations.
History
The lock was built in 1927 with two chambers featuring lift towers designed by architect Paul Bonatz. A third chamber was added in 1973 to handle growing river traffic.
Culture
The lock represents German engineering skill, blending practical water management with architectural details that catch the eye when you watch the vessels pass through.
Practical
The best time to visit is when vessels are passing through the chambers so you can watch the water regulation in action. Walking around the site offers good viewing points from different sides of the complex.
Did you know?
Two of the chambers use vertical lift gates with protected towers, while the northern chamber operates with mitre gates, showing different technologies side by side. This combination of older and newer systems makes the site technically interesting for visitors interested in engineering.
