The lock system, built in the 1890s and later expanded, is located at DEK-km 71.5 and was last operated as a spar lock with three chambers. The southern route of the DEK also gained importance through the transport project 'Deutsche Einheit' No. 17. Serving as a link between the Ruhr area and the Mittelland Canal, it is part of a continuous waterway running from the Rhine to Berlin. For this reason, the Münster lock was rebuilt as a twin lock from 2004 to 2014. It is operated by the Waterways and Shipping Office Rheine, has an average fall height of 6.2 m, and is serviced on site daily at scheduled times.
