The Erlangen lock was built between May 1967 and July 1970 as part of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal federal waterway and was inaugurated on October 30, 1970. Since it is dilapidated, the new building has been planned since 2014 while ongoing operations. It is designed as a savings lock with three savings basins west of the lock basin.
