    The historic part of the lift has been rebuilt here so that you can now go up and down the old lock. Very worth seeing, also the adjacent parts with the canal harbor and the lock park.

    The old manhole lock

    During the construction of the ship lift was one
    2. Construction planned to ensure that ships to and from Dortmund could be raised or lowered at any time.
    In 1914, another important transport connection was completed: the Rhine-Herne Canal. The ship lift is located at the branch of the Rhein-Herne-Kanal from Dortmund-Ems-Kanal.


    Also in 1914, the old shaft lock next to the ship lift goes into operation here.
    The amount of ships can thus be increased, and in the event of a defect at the elevator of transit traffic is guaranteed.

    In 1905, the Prussian state parliament decided to erect a reserve structure that could take over the function of the hoist in the event of a breakdown.

    In 1908 the excavation work for the new building began. In 1914 the shaft lock was put into operation. At the time it was one of the two largest shaft and savings locks in the world. Its sister structure was the Minden shaft lock on the Mittelland Canal, which was built around the same time.
