In August 2009 we arrived at the barrier on the way back from Berlin in the Netherlands. The castle is Hohenwarthe the eastern part of the Mittelland canal near Sülfeld - Hohenwarthe. The two bedrooms have double lock lock Hohenwarthe symmetrically arranged parallel to each other and each has a length of 190 m and a width of 12.50 m.

To overcome the water at normal water level is 18.55 m.At 12.50 m wide median wall that separates the two chambers from each other block. In addition to the two chambers are staggered in three pools save. Thus, a water saving of about 60% can be achieved.

The water "lost" is then pumped into the upper segment of the channel by three powerful pumps, each capable of 3.5 m³ of water per second.
