The Petershagen Lock Canal is an important waterway in the region. Here are some important details:

Location and purpose: The Petershagen Lock Canal is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It serves to shorten a bend in the Weser River, making shipping more efficient.

Length and structure: The canal is about 8.3 kilometers long. This includes the Petershagen Lock, which is located at kilometer 6.957 of the canal.

Historical significance: Construction of the canal began in 1934, but was interrupted by World War II. It was completed and opened in 19531.

Technical details: The lock at Petershagen is a single-chamber lock with a usable length of 212 meters and a width of 12.34 meters. It helps to manage a water level difference of about 6 meters.

Environment: The canal forms an island between itself and the Weser River, on which the villages of Windheim and Jössen are located.
