The Krotzenburg barrage is a weir with a sluice and part of the Main Federal Waterway at km 63.85. It is subordinate to the Aschaffenburg Waterways and Shipping Authority. The two communities of Großkrotzenburg on the north bank of the Main and the Hainburg district of Klein-Krotzenburg on the south bank of the Main are connected via the pedestrian walkway of the lock. The next barrage down the Main is the Mülheim barrage, after the Kesselstadt barrage was demolished in 1987-89. Upstream of the Main, the next barrage has been Kleinostheim since the Großwelzheim barrage was demolished in 1970.

The weir of the barrage is divided into three segments. The damming in each segment is done by lowerable flap weirs with a weir closure 36 m wide, which dams the water up to a drop height of 2.74 m. On the north side of the Main on the Großkrotzenburger side are the two lock chambers for large ships and a boat lock. The northernmost chamber is still based on the old lock from 1921. The water requirement for a filling is 11,000 cubic meters, which takes about ten minutes. The effective length of the two lock chambers is 300 and 302 m respectively, with a respective effective width of 12 m.

The lock chambers have been remote-controlled from a control center of the WSA Aschaffenburg since June 2014. The boat lock is still operated by the users themselves and has a usable length of 19.65 m and a width of 4.00 m.

The Krotzenburger Schleuse unfortunately still has no "fish ladder" and is therefore still an insurmountable obstacle for all fish up the Main 😢 Info:
