    The Ruhr lock Raffelberg and the hydropower plant were built in the 1920s to better connect the port of Mülheim to shipping on the Rhine and to reduce Mülheim's dependence on coal as an energy source. The power plant was put into operation in 1926, the lock in 1928. The 130 m long fish ladder was added in 2001.

      The Raffelberg Ruhr lock is a lock on the Ruhr shipping canal in Mülheim an der Ruhr in the Speldorf district. Located in the immediate vicinity of the Raffelberg hydroelectric power station and a good 600 meters from the Rhine-Ruhr port, it is the penultimate lock on the Ruhr. The water of the Ruhr is dammed up at the Raffelberg weir.
