The Eibach lock was built between October 1971 and August 1978 as part of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal federal waterway.[4] It is designed as a savings lock with three savings basins west of the lock chamber and is located immediately south of the port of Nuremberg.

The lock has its own command post, but has been remotely operated from the district headquarters of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) in Kriegenbrunn since 2007.[6] The Nuremberg, Kriegenbrunn and Erlangen locks are also remotely controlled from there. From 2024, twelve locks will be controlled from the Nuremberg control center, and later all 16 canal locks.[7]

The lock is operational around the clock all year round and is illuminated at night, except in the event of operational disruptions such as accidents, maintenance work or ice. In the upper and lower water there are lock harbors for commercial shipping, waiting areas with telephone stations for recreational shipping and slipways for small vehicles. Small vehicles are only handled during the day and usually together with large ships. Human-powered watercraft are not allowed to enter the lock; A transport trolley with a deposit is available at the slip points for them to be moved by hand.
