    The "Lock at the Hafenhaus" refers to the Oldenburg Lock, located on the Achterdiek, next to which the Hafenhaus restaurant is located. The lock is an important part of the Küstenkanal (coastal canal) and enables shipping between the Hunte River and the West German canal network.

    Here are some details about the lock and the Hafenhaus:

    Oldenburg Lock:

    The lock was built between 1922 and 1928 and is 105 meters long. It overcomes a height difference of up to 5.40 meters at low tide.

    🚢 The Oldenburg Lock is a key transportation hub for shipping in the region and is located directly next to the Upper Hunte hydroelectric power plant.

    The lock is situated in an area of great importance for water management, as it also contains the weir for regulating the water level and the aforementioned hydroelectric power plant for energy generation.
