The eastern end of the Südfeld-Hohenwarthe Mittelland Canal posture is formed by the Hohenwarte double lock, by means of which the ships are channeled down around 18.50 meters into the Elbe-Havel Canal. Since the capacity of only one lock chamber would not be sufficient for the expected ship operation, a double lock was built. In addition, the lock system was designed as an energy-saving lock to reduce water consumption and the cost of pumping back the process water.

The Hohenwarthe lock closes the east channel of the Mittelland Canal to the east and lowers the level to the height of the Elbe-Havel Canal, which is only 200 m further east. It was opened in October 2003 together with the Magdeburg canal bridge.
