This self-service lock is a great way to show children how the lock works. By the way, right next to it is the old hydroelectric power station, an industrial monument (even if you can only see it from the outside). And there is a place where you can put canoes in the water, in the summer months with toilet (Dixi) and picnic facilities.

Locking is actually a banal technical process.
But it's always a pleasure to watch.

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