Lock Sachsenhausen

The Sachsenhausen Lock is a no longer usable ship lock in the district of Sachsenhausen in the Oranienburger Canal. Sachsenhausen is a district of the town of Oranienburg in the Brandenburg district of Oberhavel. It is the first lock of the Oranienburger Canal, which branches off from the Havel just a few meters above the lock.

The first reports of a lock date back to the 16th century. However, this was located a few dozen meters south of the current one, at the water mill of Neumühl Castle on the Havel. It is likely that this was the lock referred to when talking about a reconstruction of the existing lock in the years 1832–1837. Therefore, it can be assumed that there were several predecessors, all of which are undatable. In 1875, the Sachsenhausen mill burned down and was not rebuilt.
