The Lindener Hafen-Schleuse in Hanover , also called Hafenschleuse Linden , is a lock built at the beginning of the 20th century between the Lindener Hafen and the Hanover-Linden branch canal leading to the Mittelland Canal or the Leine descending canal . The listed building can be found in what is now Hanover's Limmer district in the triangle between Sichelstraße at Limmerbrunnen and the extension of Harenberger Straße , which was named Zum Schleusengrund in 2003 along the old road to Harenberg .

History and description

At the time of the German Empire and in the middle of World War I , the Lindener Hafen-Schleuse was built between 1916 and 1917 in order to overcome the level difference between the branch canal and the 7.80 meter higher basin of the Lindener Hafen. The Braunschweig Waterways and Shipping Office specifies a construction period from 1914 to 1917 and a level difference of 7.70 meters.

The 85 m long and 10 m wide chamber lock was designed for the ship's dimensions customary at the time, which was 67 m long and 8.20 m wide for a loading depth of 1.75 m. The Lindener Hafen-Schleuse is too small for modern large motor cargo ships and push convoys, so that the Lindener Hafen cannot be approached by these types of ships. European ships (85 m in length) can only be funneled with a special permit.

Therefore, an expansion of both the branch canal and the lock was planned, but this is now considered unlikely.
