Hadelner Kanalschleuse, Lock and discharge sluice in Otterndorf, Germany.
The Hadelner Kanalschleuse features three sluice gates, including two lifting gates of 50 tons each and one additional gate of 30 tons.
The original structure from 1853 operated for over 160 years before being replaced by a new facility that opened in July 2022.
The lock represents a crucial element in the regional water management system, connecting the Hadelner Canal with the Lower Elbe River.
The new lock structure accommodates vessels up to 33.5 meters in length, 5 meters in width, with a maximum draft of 1.5 meters.
During low tide in the Elbe, the gates open to release water, while during high tide they close to prevent flooding in the inland areas.
