Schleuse Kachlet, Navigation lock on the Danube River in Passau, Germany
The Kachlet Lock consists of two chambers measuring 226 meters in length and 24 meters in width, enabling vessels to navigate different water levels.
The construction of Kachlet Lock began in 1925 with the southern chamber, followed by the northern chamber, reaching completion in 1927 for Danube navigation.
The lock stands as an engineering achievement in Bavaria, representing the advancement of German water transport infrastructure on the Danube River system.
Ships require approximately 35 minutes to pass through each chamber, with professional operators managing water levels and coordinating vessel movements throughout the process.
The facility underwent an extensive renovation starting in 2011, with an investment of 86 million euros to reduce chamber filling time to 21 minutes.
