Münster lock, Double lock in Münster, Germany
The double lock system on the Dortmund-Ems Canal rises to an elevation of 56.5 meters, enabling ships to navigate different water levels efficiently.
The lock has been an integral part of North Rhine-Westphalia's waterway infrastructure since the completion of the Dortmund-Ems Canal in 1899.
The lock represents German engineering excellence in water management, demonstrated through its precise mechanical operations and continuous maintenance protocols.
Vessels can access the lock during daylight hours, with designated waiting areas and monitoring systems ensuring smooth passage through the chambers.
The lock's dual chamber design allows simultaneous operation in both directions, reducing wait times and optimizing water consumption during transfers.
