Schleuse Flaesheim, Navigation lock in Haltern am See, Germany.

The Flaesheim lock spans 222 meters in length and 12 meters in width, managing a water level difference of 4 meters on the Wesel-Datteln Canal.

The lock construction occurred between 1928 and 1929, with its official opening in 1931 alongside the completion of the Wesel-Datteln Canal system.

The lock represents a vital component of North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial waterway network, enabling commercial navigation through the regional canal system.

The lock chamber accommodates vessels with a draft of 2.80 meters and contains lifting gates at both ends to regulate 11,500 cubic meters of water.

Two new jetties for water hikers were added to the upper water section in 2006, connecting to cycling paths along the Route of Industrial Heritage.
