It is the Windheim lock (Petershagen city). Below this lock, the lock canal from Lahde to Windheim flows into the Weser. This lock is NOT on the Mittelland Canal; As is well known, this leads through Minden, but NOT through Windheim (see map!). Please correct! Thanks. 😊

The Petershagen lock is an important component in the Mittelweser waterway network and enables inland shipping with a diving depth of 2.50 meters. It is located in the East Westphalian town of Petershagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, and was built between 1934 and 1953. The lock has a usable length of 212 meters and a usable width of 12.34 meters. It is part of the Petershagen barrage and is used to regulate the water level of the Weser for shipping.

An impressive lock on the Weser River. If you're lucky, you might see a ship passing through.
