Brandshofer Schleuse, Navigation lock in Billbrook, Hamburg, Germany.
The Brandshofer Schleuse regulates water levels between the Bille River and Elbe River, enabling safe passage for vessels through Hamburg's waterway network.
Initially constructed between 1625 and 1626, the lock received its name from Johann Brand, a Hamburg mayor who served from 1585 to 1652.
The lock stands as an example of German engineering excellence, demonstrating Hamburg's commitment to maintaining efficient maritime infrastructure through centuries.
The lock measures 69.50 meters in length and 11.50 meters in width, accommodating various vessel sizes while operating under the Hamburg State Office management.
Following the 1962 storm surge, the lock underwent reconstruction and received a 3-million-euro modernization in 2008-2009 to enhance flood protection capabilities.
