Schleusenruine Wüsteneutzsch, Lock ruins in Kreypau, Germany.
The Schleusenruine Wüsteneutzsch consists of an incomplete lock staircase with two chambers designed to manage an 11-meter water level difference between waterways.
Construction of the Elster-Saale Canal lock system started in 1933 but ceased in 1943 due to World War II, leaving only the upper chamber partially completed.
The remnants of this industrial structure stand as evidence of Germany's engineering capabilities and transportation network development in the early 20th century.
The site coordinates at 51.330058 latitude and 12.070627 longitude allow visitors to locate these concrete ruins within the Saalekreis region of Saxony-Anhalt.
The lock chambers measured 85 meters in length and 12 meters in width, designed to accommodate vessels up to 1000 tons following inland shipping class IV specifications.
