    The Schachtschleuse was built in 1928 and put into operation in 1931 - a true piece of industrial culture.

      The large lock Datteln was built in 1928 and opened in 1931 together with the canal. It has a length of 222 m, a width of 12 m, the drop height is 7.5 m and the water consumption per smuggling is 20,000 m³. Ships with a draft of up to 2.8 m can be sluiced. On the upstream and downstream side, this lock is closed by lift gates. These sluice gates were renewed in November 1993.

        A lock, like so many others on the canal.
        At least at first glance.
        If you look closer, you notice a much larger difference in height compared to the other canal locks.
        And then there is this node that the lock serves.

        So definitely worth it.
