Seeschleuse Leer, Sea lock in Leer, Germany.
The Seeschleuse Leer measures 192 meters in length and 26 meters in width, connecting the North Sea with the port through the Leda and Ems waterways.
Built in 1903 and expanded in 1960 and 1976, the lock has facilitated maritime navigation by managing water levels between different bodies of water in Ostfriesland.
The lock represents a testament to German engineering excellence, serving as an educational site for students and professionals studying maritime infrastructure.
Three free lock passages for sport boats and traditional vessels occur daily at 8:00, 14:00, and 17:30, with contact available at 0491 92 77 041.
The lock chamber walls undergo renovation with prefabricated concrete elements mounted in steel frames, requiring hundreds of core drillings up to 7 meters deep.
