The Uelzen I and II locks near Esterholz were built when the Elbe Lateral Canal was being built from 1968 to 1976. After all, a height difference of 23 meters has to be overcome here.

The locks Uelzen I and II belong to the so-called economy locks. In addition to the actual lock chamber, this lock shape has a few more arranged basins that can take up some of the water when the lock is emptied.

Uelzen Lock (Elbe Lateral Canal)

Highlight • Monument

A huge technical building. Despite a lifting height of 23m, a lock only takes 14 minutes. This can be observed very nicely from the visitor platform. From there you can also see how enormous masses of water flow into the savings basin.
