Schleuse Friedenthal, Canal lock ruins in Oranienburg, Germany
The Friedenthal Lock stands at the intersection of the Ruppiner Canal and Oranienburger Havel, featuring a chamber length of 41.5 meters and width of 6 meters.
Constructed in 1879 to facilitate water transportation between Berlin and northern Brandenburg, the lock operated until its decommissioning and subsequent filling in 1959.
The lock represents the historical development of Brandenburg's inland waterway network, which connected lakes and rivers for commercial navigation in the 18th century.
The reconstruction project, scheduled for completion in 2025, includes extensive ordnance clearing operations due to the discovery of World War II bombs in the area.
The rehabilitation project, estimated at 18 million euros, will restore navigation access between Oranienburger Havel and Ruppiner waters after more than 60 years.
