The Planena lock is a lock on the Saale federal waterway near Saale - km 70.38. Planena is now the southernmost district of the city of Halle (Saale) in Saxony-Anhalt . The actual village of Planena is a small rural village in the southwest of the district. Most of it is taken by the Saale-Elster-Aue . Registration for the smuggling takes place by phone. It is located in the area of responsibility of the outer district 5 (ABZ 5) in Merseburg . Between Trotha and the Leuna -Kröllwitz pipe bridge (Saale-Km 124.40) the Saale has waterway class I and is mainly used by passenger and sport shipping.
history
The use of the Saale for goods or passenger transport has been documented since 981. It is reported in chronicles of the Saale shipping that the water of the Saale river was dammed as early as the second half of the 14th century . The accumulated amount of water was used to operate mills and rafts. On October 21, 1530, Emperor Karl V granted the archbishopric of Magdeburg the privilege of free navigation on the Saale and permission to expand the river. The first wooden locks were used by the boatmen to handle freight traffic. Prince Wolfgang von Anhalt , regent of Bernburg, signed a contract in 1559 at the urging of Archbishop Sigismund to expand and secure shipping on the Saale. Not until almost 100 years later, from 1790 onwards, shipping on the Saale was further expanded. The Elector of Saxony, Friedrich August III. ordered the upper hall and the Unstrut to be made navigable. After 1816, the Halle city master builder Johann Justus Peter Schulze was entrusted with the construction of the Planena and Böllberg locks .
The Planena lock originally belonged to the project to expand the Saale from the 1930s. The lock still available and usable today was to be replaced by a new building. The construction documents were fully prepared. Like all Saale locks between Calbe and Wettin , a useful length of just over 100 meters and a width of 20 meters were planned. The new Planena lock was not built due to the war.
description
The lock, built in 1820, is a simple chamber lock with vertical walls. The lock chamber and head of the lock are made of brickwork with a sandstone cladding. The bottom of the lock was laid out with sandstone blocks. Mortise gates , which are driven electromechanically, are used to close the chamber . The lock chamber is emptied and filled via short lateral circuits. The lock is approved for ships up to a length of about 47 meters, which corresponds to the unstrut dimensions that are no longer in use today . A bridge leads over the lower head of the lock.
