The Straubing lock was built with the overall construction measure of the Straubing barrage in 1993 for the continuity of navigation on the Danube .
Location and technical data
The chamber of the individual lock is located at Danube kilometer 2322.02, has a chamber length of 264 m, a usable length of 230 m and a usable width of 24 m. The chamber was built in concrete and is closed at the top and bottom by a two- wing mortise gate . Each miter gate weighs 83 t. The 14 meter high and 12 meter wide steel gates stand on a spherical bearing . The chamber is filled and emptied via circulation channels with two gates each on the top and bottom as a closure.
The chamber filling time is 20 minutes with a lock water volume of 44,000 m³. A lock takes 25 minutes. The lock holds 73,000 m³. The level of the upper edge of the lock platform is 321.5 m above sea level. NN , the level of the jamb of the underwater is 308.7 m above sea level. NN .
For maintenance and repair work on gates and locks, the lock has a gantry crane with a load capacity of 100 t , which can be moved over the entire length of the lock.
Fall height and water level
At the associated weir of the Straubings power plant, the expansion target is 320 m above sea level. NN , the water levels of the lock underwater are at mean water level at 313.75 m above sea level. NN and at regulatory low water level (RNW) at 312.32 m above sea level. NN . The corresponding sluice fall height is 6.25 meters for mean water and 7.68 meters for RNW. The height of fall of the lock is indicated as 6.21 m on an information board by the system.
control
The lock is remote-controlled from the WSV control center in Regensburg . The Geisling , Regensburg and Bad Abbach locks are also remotely controlled from this control center . Originally, the Straubing lock was served from the lock tower on site.

Missing route
The kilometering of the Danube in the Straubing lock shows a faulty stretch of 7.9 kilometers. That is why there are both kilometer markings 2330 and 2322 on the lock basin.
