The Regensburg lock was put into operation on May 3, 1978, together with the Regensburg - Kelheim route and the Bad Abbach lock .

Location and technical data

The lock is located in the European Canal in Regensburg , which, according to its function, is the Regensburg lock canal of the Danube federal waterway, which is regulated here . The associated weir is about 1.6 km upstream from the Regensburg power plant . The chamber of the Regensburg single lock has a useful length of 190 meters and a width of 12 meters. It is located on river kilometer 2379.7. The drop height of the lock is 5.20 m. The chamber is filled by lifting the lifting / lowering gate. The chamber is emptied via gates in the lower stem gate .

Lock tower no longer used

The lock is remote-controlled from the control center of the water and shipping administration in Regensburg. The Geisling , Straubing and Bad Abbach locks are also remotely controlled from this control center .

2008 accident

On March 13, 2008, a spectacular accident occurred when a Dutch cargo ship was leaving the lock on the valley side. The ship's crane touched the gas pipeline under the bridge and tore it open. This caused a fire that led to the total loss of the Protzenweiherbrücke , which has since been rebuilt.

Boat lock

At the weir of the Regensburg power plant there is a boat lock that leads from the headwater of the weir into the southern arm of the Danube. The large shipping lock may not be used by small craft.
