The Leerstetten lock is one of 16 locks in the Main-Danube Canal.[4] It is located two positions north of its apex position, south of Nuremberg and is an economy lock.

The lock has its own command post, but since 2007 it has been remotely operated from the WSV headquarters in Hilpoltstein. The Bachhausen, Eckersmühlen and Hilpoltstein locks are also remote-controlled from there. From 2024, twelve locks will be controlled from the Nuremberg control center, later all 16 canal locks.[6]

Except in the event of operational disruptions such as accidents, maintenance work or ice conditions, the lock is operational around the clock all year round and is illuminated at night. Upstream and downstream there are locks for commercial shipping, waiting areas with intercoms for leisure shipping and slipways for small craft. Small vehicles are only handled during the day and usually together with large shipping. Human-powered watercraft are not locked; for these, a transport trolley with a deposit is available at the slip points for manual transfer.
