Schleuse Zerben, Navigation lock in Elbe-Parey, Germany.
The Zerben Lock consists of two sequential chambers measuring 145 meters in length and 8.20 meters in width along the Pareyer Verbindungs-Kanal.
The lock construction started in 2009 with a budget of 60 million euros to replace an older structure that could not accommodate modern cargo vessels.
The lock exemplifies German engineering excellence in waterway management, connecting the Elbe River with the Elbe-Havel Canal for commercial and recreational navigation.
Ships using the lock must not exceed 70 meters in length, with a maximum draft of 1.85 meters and specific operating hours for passage.
This double-chamber lock system adjusts to variable water levels of the Elbe River, enabling vessels to navigate different elevations throughout the year.
