    The Herbeder Schleuse is a lock at the Herbeder Schlagd on the Ruhr.

    The lock was built on this river from 1776 to 1778 at the behest of King Frederick II (as one of 16 locks in total). The weir, called Herbeder Ruhrschlagd, could be bypassed with it. The Herbeder mill ditch that branched off supplied the Herbeder mill and was later decisive for the construction of the Friedrich Lohmann steel factory.

    The lock was destroyed in 1943 by the tidal wave of the Möhnesee bombing. It was rebuilt between 1981 and 1983 so that the MS Schwalbe II could operate between Lake Kemnader and Witten-Bommern.
