Various weirs and locks are located in the Havel arms, lock canal, Rathenower Havel, weir arm Hinterarche, weir arm Vorderarche, secondary arm Hellers Loch and Stadtkanal. Together, they form the Rathenow barrage. The average water level difference between the upper and lower water is one meter. A road bridge leads over the head of the lock. The first mention of a change in the Havel outflow in Rathenow due to the construction of mill stagnation dates back to 1288. In the same year the fossatum ipsius civitatis, the city moat, is described for the first time. From 1548 to 1559, a boiler lock was built in Rathenow, thus guaranteeing a continuous passage for shipping. At the same location, the first city lock was built in 1732 as a chamber lock.
By the end of the 19th century, the performance of the old lock was no longer sufficient. This led to the construction of an artificial shipping canal with a 220-meter lock, the Rathenow main lock.

It's always nice by the water. If only so short.
