The construction of the canal from 1876 to 1881 required a lock for the difference in height between the Rheinsberg waters and the Mecklenburg lakes. This is how the Wolfsbruch lock was created at kilometer 2.37 of the Rheinsberg waters. The lock keeper works in manual mode. The lock chamber is 42.6 m long and 5.2 m wide. Depending on the current water level, the lock lift is 0.4 m.
With around 35,000 passages per season, it is one of the most frequented locks for pleasure craft.

The lock is part of the Rheinsberg Waterways. It is located between the Kleiner Pälitzsee and the Großer Prebelowsee. The lock was built from 1876 to 1881 according to the Finow standard and replaced by a new one in 1968. The waiting areas for pleasure craft in the upper and lower waters were extensively renovated in 2015. With over 35,000 passages per year, it is one of the most frequently used pleasure craft locks in Germany. The lock is a self-service lock. The Waterways and Shipping Authority in Eberswalde is responsible for its operation.

Many of these locks are located on the connecting canals of the small lakes. In summer, when things are busy, you can easily observe the hustle and bustle
