The new construction of the shaft lock in Minden is a technical masterpiece and well worth seeing. The lock has been in operation since 2017. Before that, everything went through the old lock.

On 18 August 2017, 11:00 clock, the new Mindener Schachtschleuse will be opened. And that may become a spectacle when ships of 100 meters in length are transported from the Weser to the Mittelland Canal for the first time.

It's time. As of today, the 'Neue Schachtschleuse' in Minden is ready to move the very large pots from the Weser into the Mittelland Canal and vice versa. The photographer Alfred Loschen has wonderfully documented this: minden-erleben.de
