One of seven locks on the Rhine-Herne Canal. Until 1967, the then non-self-propelled barges were decoupled from the canal tug and pulled by a tow locomotive through the lock chamber. The locks were needed to overcome the height differences of the canal. The lock process is always fascinating.

A partly historic lock system which should be replaced by 2020 by a new building.

It's very pretty on the canal, it's always nice to see the locks being closed
