Old Niegripp lock on the Ihle Canal (Old Niegripper Canal)
An old lock system, unfortunately only remains.
This was the first connection between the Elbe and the Elbe-Havel Canal.
But interesting.

The lock was built as the Niegripp lock during the construction of the Ihle Canal from 1865 to 1872. From 1926 to 1938 the Plauer and Ihle Canal were expanded to form the Elbe-Havel Canal.
The Niegripper connecting canal was built to the southwest with the new Niegripp lock.
The stem gates of the old lock were dismantled and an earth wall was built in the lock chamber as a barrier between the canal and the Elbe.

An idyllic place for a picnic on the go.

With the construction of the "New Lock" in Niegripp (as part of the construction of the Magdeburg waterway intersection) and the expansion of the Plauer and Ihle Canal to form the Elbe-Havel Canal (1926 - 1938), the "Old Lock" became operational in what is now Niegripper Old channel discontinued.
