Brandshofer Schleuse, Lock in Rothenburgsort, Hamburg, Germany.

The Brandshofer Schleuse is a lock between Rothenburgsort and Hammerbrook that links the Bille with the Oberhafenkanal, and through it with the Elbe. The present structure was built after the 1962 storm flood and modernised in 2008/9 for about 3 million euros.

The first lock at this site was built in 1625–1626 and named after Johann Brand, mayor of Hamburg from 1585 to 1652, whose estate stood nearby. It replaced the Bullenhuser Schleusen, built around 1485 upstream and destroyed in the Fastnachtsflut of 1625.
