The lock offers a good view of the bridge, which also acts as a connection to the other side of the canal.

The Berching lock was built between July 1987 and July 1991 as part of the construction of the Main-Danube Canal federal waterway. It is designed as a savings lock with three savings basins west of the lock basin. The lock has its own command post, but has been remotely operated from the WSV district headquarters in Dietfurt since 2007. The Dietfurt, Riedenburg and Kelheim locks are also remotely controlled from there. From 2024, twelve locks will be controlled from the Nuremberg control center, and later all 16 canal locks.
