    Tips

    June 29, 2017

    The new lift was opened in 1962 and has a trough length of 90 m with a width of 12 m and 3 m water depth. The useful size is 85 m × 11.40 m × 2.50 m (effective length × useful width × draft). These dimensions allowed the then emerging European ship passage.
    Technically speaking, the new elevator has the same construction principle as the old one, but the construction has been simplified. The number of floats in 52.5 m deep shafts has been reduced to two to compensate for the trough weight of 5000 t and a sub-level is eliminated because the trough and posture gates are designed as hinged gates (they turn downwards). The spindles are located in four separate towers, on a connecting elevator scaffold was omitted.
    The new lift soon became too small for the requirements of canal shipping. In 1989, for example, the current savings lock with a length of 190 m, a width of 12 m and a drumming depth of 4 m was built next door.
    The new elevator was used until December 2005, then shut down due to technical problems. A re-commissioning is questionable for cost reasons, especially since the port of Dortmund no longer has the freight volume of earlier days. If, however, - as in spring 2006 - problems or maintenance work on the modern lock, the port of Dortmund can no longer be called.
    In order to fight for the preservation of the lift, a sponsorship association has since been established. He would like to receive the hoist not only as a building, but also in a serviceable condition.

      This highlight is not the old boat lift Henrichenburg, but fits the position to:

      Sluice Park Waltrop / Old Sluice Henrichenburg (1914-1989) / Underwater
      with mooring Viking ship "Asgard"

        This highlight is exactly the same in terms of position
        Lock Park Waltrop / Land's End - promontory in the upper water, but in name it is
        Sluice Park Waltrop / Oberwasser with historic lift bridge, on which you have from the highlight position but view. Position but still wrong in terms of navigation. The upper water with a historical lift bridge can be approached from the outside of the museum area on the left side of the canal.
