The Straubing Lock was constructed 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 meters, it has a usable length of 230 meters and a usable width of 24 meters. 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 tons. 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 cubic meters. A lockage takes 25 minutes. The lock has a total capacity of 73,000 cubic meters. 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.[1] 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.

Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary The first parish register of the diocese, in which Wiesenfelden was mentioned as an independent parish, dates back to 1286. The 15th-century "Gothic" predecessor building had become dilapidated. However, the entire building was not demolished; instead, the choir was skillfully integrated into the new structure by altering the windows and vaulting. The present church was completed in 1764. Wiesenfelden was a very large parish in 1848, with a population of 2,472. The parish also included the curacy of the "Marian pilgrimage site of Heilbrunn" and the "Zinzenzell branch." The altarpiece depicts the Assumption of Mary, in reference to the patron saint (= patronage of a saint over a church). The two side altars formerly depicted Saint Barbara and Saint Wendelin; Since around 1920, the left side altar features figures of the Virgin Mary as Patrona Bavariae, and the image of Archangel Michael with the scales of souls is depicted in the excerpt. The right side altar depicts the figure of St. Sebastian, and the excerpt depicts St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus. The oil painting on the confessional depicts St. Peter, with a life-size cross from the Baroque period above. The front part of the nave is decorated with busts of the four evangelists with their symbols: St. Luke with the bull, St. John with the eagle, St. Mark with the lion, and St. Matthew with the angel. These are Baroque works from the late 17th century. The depictions of the Stations of the Cross are handcrafted oil paintings from the late 17th century. Of the Gothic interior furnishings, only a statue of the Virgin Mary and the figure of St. Sebastian remain.

Wiesenfelden Castle The first indirect documented mention of Wiesenfelden Castle dates back to 1105, when a Pabo de Wisintfeld witnessed a donation. He was likely a ministerial to the Bishop of Regensburg. Over time, the castle was the seat of several noble families and formed a closed manorial estate. From 1335 to 1488, the Bogen ministerials Haybeck von Haybach owned it, and from 1488 to 1548, the Lords of Paulsdorf resided there. Subsequently, the Schwarzenbergs, the Nothafft family, the Brugglachs, and between 1705 and 1865, the Barons von Mägerl owned the castle. In the 19th century, the Counts of Otting-Fünfstätten acquired the castle, and extensive structural alterations were carried out under their leadership. In 1934, Wiesenfelden Castle was sold by the Counts to Dr. Josef Schmid and Martin Schmid, and from 1969 onwards it was leased. The castle was presumably burned down by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War, probably in 1648. Subsequently, the present castle building was built there, partly on the older foundations. In the 19th century, the three-story building was altered again. Until his death in 2025, the castle was owned by Hubert Weinzierl, President of the German Nature Conservation Association, former Chairman of the Bavarian Nature Conservation Association, and current Honorary President of the Bavarian Association for Landscape Conservation and Species Protection. The property houses an environmental information center and a natural history museum. Following disputes between Weinzierl and his successor as Chairman of the Bavarian Nature Conservation Association, Hubert Weiger, the castle is operated privately by Weinzierl and no longer by the educational institute of the Bavarian Nature Conservation Association.
