The Lehnitzschleuse , also called Schleuse Lehnitz , is a lock structure in the German state of Brandenburg . It is located near the former Sachsenhausen concentration camp on the eastern outskirts of Oranienburg ,
The lock connects the different water level heights of the attitude of the Havel-or waterway between the lock Spandau , the connecting Hohenzollernkanal and the summit level to niederfinow boat lift each other.

The western line of the Havel-Oder waterway, known as the Großschiffahrtsweg Berlin-Stettin , begins in Berlin-Plötzensee . Among other things, it includes the Lehnitz lock system. The Lehnitz lock (Lehnitz I) was built in 1910. It was given a total length of 85 meters and a usable length of 80 meters. With a width of 10 meters, four Finow-measure boats could pass through the lock at the same time . The mean lifting height of 5.65 meters summarized the former barrages at Pinnow, Sachsenhausen and Malz of the predecessor waterways.
The lock was built a few hundred meters north of the Lehnitzsee, which the Havel had not previously flowed through . When the lock was built, the property was already reserved for an anticipated extension. In the time of National Socialism , this waterway was declared to be particularly important during the preparations for the construction of the imperial capital Germania . The old Lehnitz lock was extended by a second lock system (Lehnitz II, completed in 1940). It is 11.92 m wide and has a usable chamber length of 125.00 m. A lock process (mountain or valley) takes around 15 minutes in the new lock, an intersection lock (mountain and valley) around 40 to 45 minutes. In the construction of the Lehnitz II lock, prisoners from the Sachsenhausen concentration camp were probably also used.
The old lock (Lehnitz I) was closed in 1989.
