Vorstadtschleuse Brandenburg, Navigation lock in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany.

The Vorstadtschleuse Brandenburg contains two separate chambers on the Lower Havel Waterway, with the south chamber measuring 220 meters long and 17.5 meters wide.

The lock was constructed between 1881 and 1883 in the Krakauer district east of the city to address the increasing commercial vessel traffic of the industrial era.

The waterway system at Brandenburg demonstrates the evolution of German water transportation, from medieval trade routes to modern shipping infrastructure.

The north chamber of the lock operates from Monday to Friday between 06:00 and 22:00, while Saturday hours run from 07:00 to 22:00 for both commercial and recreational vessels.

The facility manages all commercial shipping traffic through separate chambers, while smaller city locks exclusively handle recreational boats and sport vessels.
