The construction of the world's largest double-vertical boat lift Lüneburg Scharnebeck was built in 1974 and offers a worth seeing technical spectacle. The ship lift offers modern cargo ships the opportunity to overcome a height of 38 meters. The lift's design lasted for decades.

In order to create a connection between the Elbe (Artlenburg) and Mittellandkanal (Wolfsburg), engineers built the Elbe side canal in eight years of construction. On the entire stretch of the Elbe side channel a height difference of 61 meters is overcome. Of these, the Uelzen lock bridges 23 meters and the remaining 38 meters the Scharnebeck ship lift.

On this Geesthang an "elevator" for the inland vessels was necessary. The result is a technical masterpiece. You can admire it from a park, which is located next to the building. From here, a path leads directly into the information center. It is very impressive to stand directly below the troughs on the underpass. Those who have time now experience how the troughs with inland vessels are driven up or down in front of their eyes. An open elevator chair, full of water, so that the ship can swim. Impressive!
