The Bergeshövede lock is a disused lock on the Dortmund-Ems Canal (DEK), in the immediate vicinity of the wet triangle . Bergeshövede is a district of Hörstel - Riesenbeck , in the north of North Rhine-Westphalia .
The lock (DEK-km 108.6) was built in 1898 together with the almost identical Small Lock Bevergern (DEK-km 109.7). The lock chamber is almost 67 m long, 8.60 m wide and had a drop height of 4.1 m. However , it was too small for tow trains and so the large Bevergern lock was opened in 1916.
In the 1980s , the Bergeshövede lock was closed and in 2007 it was added to the list of architectural monuments in Hörstel . As part of the planned new construction of the Bevergern lock, construction measures to maintain the Bergeshövede lock are also expected from 2021.
