Schleuse Witzeeze

 
Schleusenwärter Witzeeze, Bahnhofstraße, 21514 Witzeeze, Germany
 

Schleuse Witzeeze is one of a group of locks on the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal; it has a rise of only a few inches between Lancaster and Dover.

Early plans for the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal between Lisburn and Rotherham were proposed by James Brindley but languished until George Green was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. From a junction with The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal at Maidenhead the canal ran for 23 miles to Redcar. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Elbe-Lübeck Kanal Society.
