The Krewelin lock was a lock at kilometer 11.35 of the Voss Canal near Krewelin, a district of the unofficial city of Zehdenick in the Oberhavel district in Brandenburg . The canal is part of the Upper Havel Waterway (OHW) and belongs to waterway class II. The Eberswalde Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible .
history
The Krewelin lock was built between 1880 and 1882 as part of the construction of the Voss Canal. Exact data of the lock are not transmitted, but it is assumed that it corresponded to the Finow dimension , i.e. had a usable length of at least 40.50 meters and a width of about 5.00 meters. It was replaced by a new building in 1933. The lock was adapted to the Groß-Finow size, the usable length of the chamber was 41 meters and it was 6.30 meters wide and has a 16.80 meter long bulge on one side. The resulting width of 10.30 meters was used to accommodate a tug during the lock process. The Voss Canal was of great importance for the development of Berlin. In the period before the First World War, around 1.75 million tons of bricks were transported each year on the Voss Canal for the expansion of Berlin. In the 1930s, the cross-section of the canal was enlarged and the Krewelin lock and the Bischofswerder lock were partially built to benefit shipping . In 1969 and 1970, measures to regulate the discharge conditions of the Havel water south of Zehdenick were carried out to improve the yield security of agriculture and the "Schnell Havel" was relieved of long-lasting flood situations. Since then, the Havel water has been discharged via the Voss Canal. The Voss Canal was used by shipping until 1971 in this expansion stage. From 1971 onwards, there were extensive deepening of the bottom and water level increases. These construction measures made the Krewelin lock redundant and dismantled.
