Michaelisschleuse, Hamburg, Germany - Waterway Locks, Planes and Lifts on Waymarking.com

Diese Schleuse dient auch dem Schutz der Stadt vor Hochwasser. Denn die Elbe kennt auch Ebbe und Flut und das Wasser würde bei Sturm die Stadt überfluten. (visit link)

********************************************************************

This lock also protects the city from storm flood. The river Elbe is affected by the tide (from the ocean). And, without this lock, the water would flow into the city.

The date of the opening is unknown to me so I entered an invented date.
