The Kurzenmoor lock was mentioned in records as early as 1702 as the “Kortenmohr Schlüse” or “Neue Schleuse” and was located north-east of today's pumping station on the Seesterau dike. The name did not refer to the location of the lock, but rather to the area to be drained and thus to the name of the so-called “Schleusencommüne”, whose legal successor today is the Sielverband.
In 1764 the lock was called the “Stone Lock”. The sluice was already made of clinker bricks at that time.
Due to the construction and commissioning of the new steam pumping station in 1895, the nearby "Wischer Schleuse" lost its function and was closed. The Kurzenmoorer Schleuse, on the other hand, was enlarged again with a massive clinker brick building and made deeper in order to be able to continue to perform its function. The Wisch-Kurzenmoor lock community emerged from the Wisch and Kurzenmoor lock communities.
Unfortunately, the performance of the steam pumping station did not meet the high expectations. Even the replacement of the steam engine with a powerful diesel engine in the 1920s could not change this. In 1955/56 a new pumping station was built right next to the steam pumping station, the buildings of which have been preserved to this day. The lock was shut down in 1965 after the new Kurzenmoor pumping station* was completed. (Source: Shield)

Between the Wischer lock and the Sonnendeich lock was the Kurzenmoor lock, which was called the "Kortemohr lock" in 1702, the "Kurtzen Mohrer lock" (1764) or the "new lock". This was a lock that was apparently built later and drained the western part of the Deichwettern and the Dorfwettern. The dyke map from 1764 contains cross-sectional drawings of the sluices on the Seesterau dyke. In it, the Kurzenmoor lock is referred to as the "stone lock", which means that the sluice structure was already made of clinker bricks at that time. This sluice was repaired in 1899. The Kurzenmoor lock was enlarged and lowered in 1901 with a massive brick structure, as the water level in the Wettern had dropped significantly following the commissioning of the steam pumping station in 1895 and the sluice was in danger of becoming unusable. The Kurzenmoor lock was finally shut down after the new pumping station was completed in 1956.
