Schleuse Jochenstein, Navigation lock at Untergriesbach, Germany.
The Jochenstein lock features two parallel chambers measuring 227 meters in length and 24 meters in width along the Danube River.
Construction of the northern lock chamber began in 1954, followed by the southern chamber in 1955, establishing navigation infrastructure on the Danube.
This lock stands as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, registered under designation D-2-75-153-105, representing German engineering excellence.
The lock operates with a maximum height difference of 10.34 meters, enabling vessels to navigate through different water levels on the Danube.
The lock chambers employ different closure mechanisms: the southern chamber uses a vertical-lift gate while the northern chamber features a lifting gate.
