The Ritterhuder lock was completed at the end of 1875 after an astonishingly short construction period of two years. Until then, the 40,000 hectare catchment area of the Hamme was regularly hit by storm surges, which led to extensive silt deposits.

The lock was supposed to prevent flooding, but only in summer. In winter, the floods were welcome because the silt that was carried along fertilized the fields.
