The outlying district of Breisach operates and maintains the Breisach lock. The lock is a self-service single-chamber lock and is not manned by operating personnel. It overcomes a height difference of 5.5 m at the Breisach culture weir, with a chamber length of 67 m and a usable width of 9.05 m. The lock is available to commercial shipping and non-motorized leisure shipping and has been in operation since the mid-1960s .

In 2003, the Breisach lock was converted to self-service. Since then, boat operators have been able to use the lock during operating hours from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. without prior notice. In the event of high water, the lock is automatically closed from a water level in Basel (Rheinhalle) of around 6.80 m.
