The special purpose association Finowkanal Region (ZRF), founded in February 2020, intends to acquire the twelve locks of the Finow Canal from the previous owner of the federal government. The aim of the association is to ensure the permanent navigability of the Finow Canal for motorized and muscle-driven boat traffic and the water-tourism development of the entire region.

The locks are taken over on the basis of a financing agreement between the federal government, represented by the Directorate General for Waterways and Shipping (GDWS) and the ZRF in the following two lock packages:

- Lock pack 1 (SP1):

Ruhlsdorf, Leesenbrück, Grafenbrück, Schöpfurt, Heegermühle locks; Wolfswinkel

- Lock pack 2 (SP2):

Wire Hammer, Copper Hammer, Eberswalde, Ragöse, Engraver and Liepe

SP 1 is currently under review by the relevant approval or licensing authorities. Construction is scheduled to start in the IV quarter of 2022 and completion is planned for 05/2025.

The procurement project includes general planning services for basic repair and modernization measures at the Finow canal locks of SP 2, which includes the following locks:

- Wire hammer lock, Finowkanal km: 73.9; built in 1877; renovation year 1933,

- Kupferhammer lock, Finowkanal km 75.9; built in 1875; refurbished in 1930,

- Eberswalde lock, Finowkanal-km 77.9; built in 1831; renovation year 2001,

- Ragöse lock, Finowkanal-km 81.0; built in 1875; renovation year 1930,

- lock Stecher, Finowkanal-km 84.4; built 1877; renovation year 1930,

- Liepe lock, Finowkanal km 88.9; built in 1874; refurbished in 1930.

The hand-operated locks were built as double-width chamber locks and have a chamber length of approx. 41.50 m, a clear passage width of approx. 9.60 m and overcome drop heights between 2.30 m and 4.20 m.

The building statuses according to the last building inspections or monitoring can be found in systems 1 to 6 in the task description.

Except for the Eberswalde lock, which was completely repaired in 2001, there is a primary need for basic repair for all other locks, which must be planned accordingly for these five locks.

In contrast, the only thing that needs to be determined for the Eberswalde lock is the existing maintenance requirement. In addition, the

As part of the construction work, all six locks, previously manually operated, will be equipped with electric drives for automated, self-operated operation with remote monitoring.

As part of the general planning service, it is important to note that the Finow Canal with its hydraulic engineering facilities, including lock structures, is a listed building in its entirety. Examining all issues relevant to historic preservation is therefore a special priority within the scope of the services to be assigned and is part of the planning process.

The general planning service includes the required basic planning services of the HOAI 2021 service descriptions Lph. 1 to 9, including special property and specialist planning and consulting services, including special services in accordance with Appendix 1, HOAI 2021 and services according to the Construction Site Ordinance ( see also contract notice point II.2.4, description of procurement).
