The "Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg"
Discover industrial heritage in Waltrop
The Prussian eagle has been emblazoned high above the Dortmund-Ems Canal on the imposing towers of the "Schiffshebewerk Henrichenburg" in Waltrop for 125 years. To this day, the steel lift for ships has lost none of its fascination. It was built to overcome a 14 metre high canal step. The lift was in operation for over 60 years. Today, the landmark is a popular excursion destination with a water playground and boat tours. It offers a variety of opportunities to explore life and work on the water.
