The Jochenstein lock system was built with the overall Jochenstein power plant construction project for the continuity of navigation on the Danube .

Location and technical data

The chambers of the double lock are located at Danube kilometer 2203.2 and both have a usable length of 227 m and a usable width of 24 m. First the construction of the north lock began in 1954 and then in 1955 the south lock. The lock system is located entirely on German territory of the municipality of Untergriesbach .

The drop height of the lock is 10.34 m. The expansion target at the associated weir of the Jochenstein power plant is 290.0 m above sea level . The two lock chambers are operated by staff on site at the lock.

The locks of the two lock chambers are designed differently. The main lock of the southern chamber is a lifting sector with hook double shooters. In the northern chamber a lift gate was pulled up at Drempel installed. The lower main locks of both chambers are bolt lock gates with openings for emptying the chamber. The chambers are also filled directly via the lock by lifting the lower panel.
