The lock is located in the European Canal in Regensburg, which functions as the Regensburg lock canal on the Danube federal waterway, which is regulated here. The associated weir is about 1.6 km upstream at the Regensburg power plant. The lock chamber of the Regensburg lock has a usable length of 190 meters and a width of 12 meters. It is located at river kilometer 2379.7. The fall height of the lock is 5.20 m. The chamber is filled by raising the lifting gate. The chamber is emptied via contactors in the lower stem gate. The lock tower is no longer used. The lock is controlled remotely from the control center of the water and shipping administration in Regensburg.

The lock serves to operate the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal / Europa Canal, which was built between 1960 and 1992. The facilities in the city of Regensburg were built between 1972 and 1978. The district of Stadtamhof thus became an island.

Impressive: when the large inland vessels enter the lock, there are only a few centimeters of space to the left and right of the lock wall.
