The Straubing Lock was built in 1993 as part of the Straubing Weir project to ensure the navigability of the Danube. The lock chamber is located at Danube kilometer 2322.02. With a chamber length of 264 m, it has a usable length of 230 m and a usable width of 24 m. The lock chamber is constructed of concrete and is closed at both the upper and lower gates by a double-leaf mitre gate. Each mitre gate weighs 83 t. The 14-meter-high and 12-meter-wide steel gates rest on a spherical bearing. The chamber is filled and emptied via bypass channels, each with two bypass gates at the upper and lower gates. The chamber fills in 20 minutes with a lock water volume of 44,000 m³. A lockage takes 25 minutes. The lock has a total capacity of 73,000 m³. [1] The level of the upper edge of the lock platform is 321.5 m above sea level (NN), and the level of the lower lock sill is 308.7 m above sea level (NN). For maintenance and repair work on the gates and closures, the lock is equipped with a gantry crane with a lifting capacity of 100 tons, which can be moved along the entire length of the lock. At the associated weir of the Straubing power plant, the design impoundment level is 320 m above sea level (NN). The water level of the lower lock basin is 313.75 m above sea level (NN) at mean water level (MTF) and 312.32 m above sea level (NN) at regulated low water level (RNW). The corresponding head is 6.25 meters at MTF and 7.68 meters at MTW. An information panel at the facility states the lock head as 6.21 m. The lock is remotely controlled from the WSV control center in Regensburg. This control center also remotely operates the Geisling, Regensburg, and Bad Abbach locks. Originally, the Straubing lock was operated from the lock tower on site. Immediately below the lower lock gate, the Kagers Bridge crosses the Alte Donau lock canal. The Danube's kilometer markers show a discrepancy of 7.9 kilometers at the Straubing lock. Therefore, both kilometer markers 2330 and 2322 are present at the lock basin.

Pilgrimage Church of St. John Called "St. John by the Oak", the first beginnings were probably a wayside cross or a small chapel as a resting place for the carters on the old road that led from Italy across the Danube to Bohemia. In 1664 it was mentioned as a small chapel with a portable altar that had been desecrated by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. The current church is an attractive baroque building from around 1721, very nicely situated next to a small property. The nave has three window axes and a flat ceiling. The slightly recessed choir of one bay closes off on three sides. Tuscan pilasters structure the entire room. The west gallery with a curved parapet is supported by two wooden columns. The west portal has a straight lintel. The square projecting west tower stands in the central axis; the top of its three floors has bevelled corners and a shingled onion dome. The portal vestibule has a cross vault. A beautiful frame stucco from the time the church was built has been applied to the nave ceiling. The high baroque altar dates from 1729, with two straight and two twisted columns, between them the altarpiece of the Baptism of Christ by John, created around 1670. In the elevator between volute pilasters is the image of the Immaculata, framed by acanthus carvings. The antependium has foliage carvings. The early baroque side altars were made in 1609 in the Windberg monastery and bought at auction for St. Johann in 1803. Two columns flank each shell niche. In the niches on the left are Mary with the child on a crescent moon, in the elevator St. Anne Selbdritt; on the right St. Sebastian, in the elevator St. Florian. The originals of the elevator figures were stolen in the 1960s. The confessional is a stylish baroque creation from the beginning of the 18th century. Major restorations took place in 1879, 1968 and 1985. The current organ comes from Haunkenzell and was installed in 2004. The roof structure and interior were completely restored from 2009 to 2011.
