Plötzensee lock, Navigation lock in Charlottenburg-Nord, Germany.
The double-chamber lock system on the Berlin-Spandau Ship Canal connects water levels between the Upper Havel and the Spree river sections at kilometer 7.45.
The construction of Plötzensee lock began in 1906 as part of the Berlin-Stettin waterway project and opened for navigation in 1912.
The lock represents German engineering excellence in water management, demonstrating the integration of maritime infrastructure into urban development.
The lock chambers measure 67.20 meters in length and 10 meters in width, with a threshold depth of 3 meters for vessel passage.
The southern chamber of the lock facility remains non-operational, while the northern section continues to serve water traffic through Berlin.
