Mühlendammschleuse, Navigation lock at Rolandufer, Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The Mühlendammschleuse consists of two parallel chambers managing water levels on the Spree River, enabling vessels to navigate through central Berlin.
Built in 1894 as a single chamber lock, the structure underwent reconstruction from 1936 to 1942 to become a double chamber system.
The lock represents Berlin's industrial development and transportation heritage, serving as a connection point in the Spree-Oder waterway system.
The northern chamber measures 11.75 meters wide while the southern chamber spans 12 meters, with each lock operation taking approximately 30 minutes.
In 2006, the lock processed 3,500 cargo vessels, 15,933 passenger ships, and 6,560 recreational boats through its chambers.
