Schaartorschleuse - Waterway Locks, Planes and Lifts on Waymarking.com

After 56 km the Alster ends here into the Elbe. The Elbe is affected by the tide. The Lock is part of storm surge protection. A pumping station is arranged next to the two lock chambers, so the water of the Alster can be pumped (volumetric displacement: 36m³/s) out of the city, if the level of the Elbe is higher, even in case of a storm surge.

dimensions of each chamber:
breadth: 7.2m, length: 39m
