        Between 1940 and 1950, the historic Kettwig lock was converted into a weir with a lock. The lock was moved to the right bank of the Ruhr and offers passage for ships up to 300 tons. Similar to the Baldeneysee, the Kettwiger See, with a good 1.4 million cubic meters of water, serves to biologically clean the river by slowing down the flow rate.
