The lock Feudenheim located in Neckarkanal Feudenheim the Mannheim district Feudenheim . It connects the different water level heights of the Neckar in the transition area between the Neckar valley in the Odenwald and the Neckar confluence with the Rhine . In this way, it controls the transition from the Rhine to the dam-regulated Neckar and is therefore also known as the Neckar entrance lock.
construction
The Feudenheim lock is a lock with three lock chambers. The associated weir that regulates dams is the Ladenburg weir . It is located in the back of the Neckar just below the branch of the 6 km long, parallel-flowing side canal at the east end of the community of Ilvesheim .
The Feudenheim lock uses lifting gates on two of the lock chambers (the older ones), which are moved vertically upwards. The respective three lifting towers of the lock gates are under monument protection . The newer lock on the north side is equipped with mortise gates on both sides. The control center is between the new and old chambers.
In the underwater area, the Neckar Canal is crossed by a road, a railway line and a pipeline.
history
The two lock chambers on the left and in the middle, 105 m long, seen in the direction of the river, were built in 1927 as part of the Neckar canalisation. The third, right, 189.5 m long chamber dates from 1973.
In the right chamber, the old damaged mortise gates were replaced in 2012 by new mortise gates and new drive, control and electrical engineering.
The middle chamber is currently only reserved for replacement locks if the left or right lock chamber fails. After the basic overhaul of the left chamber with an extension for 135 m ships, the provision of the middle lock chamber as a replacement lock is no longer necessary and also no longer economically viable. The middle chamber will therefore be shut down after the basic overhaul of the left chamber.
Construction work on the left and middle lock chambers, which began on April 14, 2016, is planned to take at least four years.
location
Seen from the Rhine , the lock in Feudenheim is the first installation. The associated power plant is not far from the plant. The weir, which separates the back arm of the Neckar from the Neckar Canal, is located upstream in Ladenburg .
