    A remarkable lock. The old structure, equipped with modern technology, allows the ship's captains to operate the lock themselves.

    The Gaustadt lock connects the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal via the Regnitz to the Main-Danube Canal. Confluence of the Regnitz at MDK km 2.60.
    The lock is still in operation and is used daily by the ships of Bamberg's Fritz Kropf passenger shipping company.

    The Gaustadt Lock was built in late 1856/57 following the establishment of the ERBA factory. The river was dammed to generate electricity, necessitating the installation of a lock. The power plant is still in operation at this location today.
