Even lend a hand when locking the boats is required here. Funny and relaxing for the viewer. Somewhat warming for the boater until you have opened or closed the gates and the water flaps.

The lock was built as part of the Lahn expansion and was completed in 1850.
The modified lock keeper's house is part of the standard construction of the Lahn expansion of 1841/42. The outbuilding made of rubble with a bricked-up half-timbered knee wall is still unchanged. The lock and the lock keeper's house are listed as historical monuments for historical, artistic and technical reasons.

The Lahn is ideal for oarsmen and Padler - especially in this section, but it must also be passed a few times.
