The old lock from the old days of Ruhr shipping has become inoperable due to mining subsidence and is no longer in use. It was filled in, secured and preserved as a monument.

Lock keeper's house
The Spillenburg lock house is located on the Ruhr at Langenberger Straße 306 in Überruhr. It was built around 1780 together with 15 other Ruhr locks, when Friedrich II promoted the Ruhr shipping . The last lock keeper, Franz Arnold Platte, lived in this house until his death in 1951. Extensively renovated by Stadtwerke Essen from November 1990 onwards, a company history exhibition was held here until the beginning of 2007 with the topics of gas and water supply, Essen harbor and social history.
Until the end of 2011, the house and lock were stops on the route of industrial culture , the theme route past and present of the Ruhr .
