history
The first lock Wernsdorf was put into operation in 1891 as a single-chamber lock . It had a usable length of 55 meters and was located on the site of today's southern chamber. The first north chamber was built in 1904. Both lock chambers were provided with hinged gates in the upper part and with stem gates in the lower part . In order to enable larger ships to pass through the southern chamber, the stem gate was replaced by a lift gate in 1929 and the jamb on the head was shortened by 1.40 m. This increased the usable length of the south chamber to 67.5 meters. This conversion measure brought great benefits for shipping due to its comparatively low costs. Due to increased ship sizes and an increase in shipping traffic, after previous investigations, the north chamber of the lock was repaired from 2004 and extended to the east to a usable length of 115 meters. The width is now 9.40 meters. The head moved to the east received a folding gate . The northern chamber was opened to traffic on November 21, 2006. The southern chamber has been decommissioned.
