Younger story
In 2009 the existing lock was demolished and removed from the shipping register. Since March 2010, a flap weir near the Wilhelm-Franke -brücke (crossing of the B246 ) - in conjunction with the two other barrages in Senzig and Körbiskrug - has enabled water levels to be regulated on the one hand, but also ecological continuity between the Dahme and Pätzer front lakes. A fish pass was built in - a channel braked by brushes parallel to the watercourse - which allows the fish to travel upstream. The side walls are raised so high that herons cannot get to the fish. There is also a possibility to move canoes.
At the lock is the royal forester's house, which was built by order of Prussian King Friedrich II in 1775 and which today houses a restaurant.
Glunze or Glunse
The spelling is not undisputed. Older people from Bestense especially emphasize that after their school lessons the spelling with "s" is the correct one. From an etymological point of view, the "s" is quite understandable. The area around today's Wilhelm-Franke-Brücke was named Gallunsbrück according to a land register map from 1861. Slinked colloquially, Gallunsbrück could become Glunsbrück. The unvoiced "s" was then replaced by "z" in written language.
