Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg

The new lift was opened in 1962 and has a trough length of 90 m with a width of 12 m and 3 m water depth. The useful size is 85 m × 11.40 m × 2.50 m (effective length × useful width × draft). These dimensions allowed the then emerging European ship passage.
Technically speaking, the new elevator has the same construction principle as the old one, but the construction has been simplified. The number of floats in 52.5 m deep shafts has been reduced to two to compensate for the trough weight of 5000 t and a sub-level is eliminated because the trough and posture gates are designed as hinged gates (they turn downwards). The spindles are located in four separate towers, on a connecting elevator scaffold was omitted.
The new lift soon became too small for the requirements of canal shipping. In 1989, for example, the current savings lock with a length of 190 m, a width of 12 m and a drumming depth of 4 m was built next door.
The new elevator was used until December 2005, then shut down due to technical problems. A re-commissioning is questionable for cost reasons, especially since the port of Dortmund no longer has the freight volume of earlier days. If, however, - as in spring 2006 - problems or maintenance work on the modern lock, the port of Dortmund can no longer be called.
In order to fight for the preservation of the lift, a sponsorship association has since been established. He would like to receive the hoist not only as a building, but also in a serviceable condition.

A visit to these monuments of industrial history is always worthwhile, not only for technology fans. Canal shipping has contributed significantly to our modern life, as it has made it possible to transport goods and manufactured goods in ever-increasing demand. If you visit this highlight, you should not miss the rest of the fascinating Lock Park Waltrop, here are many other highlights on a visit and offer attractions and opportunities for rest.

Parc des écluses de Waltrop / Musée industriel LWL "Altes Hebewerk Henrichenburg" (1899-1969)Ce point culminant est de sa position comme l'un des rares dans le parc de l'écluse auquel il appartient selon son nom et montre également l'ancien ascenseur sur certaines images.Une visite de ces monuments de l'histoire industrielle vaut toujours la peine, pas seulement pour les fans de technologie. La navigation fluviale a apporté une contribution significative à notre vie moderne, car elle a permis le transport de marchandises et de produits industriels avec des demandes toujours croissantes. Ceux qui visitent ce point culminant ne devraient pas manquer le reste du fascinant Waltrop Lock Park, de nombreux autres points forts attendent une visite ici et offrent des sites tels que la possibilité de se reposer.
