An old lock system, unfortunately only remains.
This was the first connection between the Elbe and the Elbe-Havel Canal.
But interesting.

The Niegripper connecting canal was built to the southwest with the new Niegripp lock.
The stem gates of the old lock were dismantled and an earth wall was built in the lock chamber as a barrier between the canal and the Elbe.

With the construction of the "New Lock" in Niegripp (as part of the construction of the Magdeburg waterway intersection) and the expansion of the Plauer and Ihle Canal to form the Elbe-Havel Canal (1926 - 1938), the "Old Lock" became operational in what is now Niegripper Old channel discontinued.
