    The Upper Lock in Oberbiel (Lahn-km 19.260) was built by the Prussian administration in 1843-1848. It has the standard dimensions of 34.00 m long and 5.34 m wide. The height of fall at mean water is 3.15 m. The lock, like the Niederbiel lock that adjoins it downstream, is located on the 1,400 m long lock canal. The "original appearance of the lock canal, bridge and keeper's house" (monument topography) has largely been preserved.
    The lock is a cultural monument for technical and historical reasons.

      It's always fun to watch the canoeists locks.
