    A remarkable lock. The old structure, equipped with modern technology, allows the ship's captains to operate the lock themselves.

    The Gaustadt Lock was built in late 1856/57 following the establishment of the ERBA factory. The river was dammed to generate electricity, necessitating the installation of a lock. The power plant is still in operation at this location today.
