Lock 60 near Feucht
The Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal had to overcome a height difference of 264 meters between the Danube and the Main with 100 locks:
80 m with 32 locks from Kelheim up to the summit section, 184 m from there with 68 further locks down to Bamberg.

The 34.15 m long and 4.67 m wide locks each overcame a height of 2.30 to 3.20 meters. Filling a chamber required up to 500 m3 of water. To save water, many locks could be shortened to 26.2 m with an intermediate gate. This was enough for the 24 m long standard barges, while long timber transports often filled the lock chamber completely.
