To overcome the height difference between the former Oder-Havel Canal and the Malz Canal, a lock was built in Malz in 1824 and in 1874 a second lock chamber was added. With the completion of the expansion of the Oder-Havel Canal in 1914, the Malz lock was no longer needed for freight traffic. The older lock was shut down in 1930 and converted into a weir. The lock from 1874 was also converted into a weir in 1975. Ships and boats cannot pass through the canal step, which is now only used to regulate the water level
