    The Rhine-Herne Canal was built at the beginning of the 20th century and was completed and put into operation in 1914 with a total of 6 locks. In the historical crime novel by Peter Kersken "IM SCHATTEN DER ZECHE" this is described very vividly. In the meantime, the Essen-Dellwig lock has been omitted due to subsidence since 1980.

      The increase in shipping traffic and the increase in ship sizes made it necessary to expand the RHK in the early 1970s. At the same time, the north and south locks of the Oberhausen-Lirich lock were built.

        Water always has its charm and a lock offers additional variety.
