    The Leerstetten Lock is one of 16 locks in the Main-Danube Canal. It is located two reaches north of the canal's summit, south of Nuremberg, and is a low-cost lock.
    The lock has its own control center, but has been remotely controlled from the WSV's district control center in Hilpoltstein since 2007. The Bachhausen, Eckersmühlen, and Hilpoltstein locks are also remotely controlled from there. Starting in 2024, twelve locks will be controlled from the Nuremberg control center, and later all 16 canal locks.
