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

Hiking
The large Datteln lock was built in 1928 and opened in 1931 together with the canal. The lock chamber is 222 m long, 12 m wide, the drop is 7.5 m and the water consumption per lock is 20,000 m³. Ships with a draft of up to 2.8 m can be locked. This lock is closed by lifting gates on the upper and lower water sides. These lock gates were renewed in November 1993.
