St. Laurentius Church Stederdorf

Highlight • Religious Site

The church consists of a single-nave Romanesque field stone building with a recessed choir rectangle and a semicircular apse. 220 people can sit in it.

The St. Lawrence Church in Stederdorf is a field stone church. It was named after St. Lawrence of Rome. The builders of the church were the lords of Bollensen. It belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church Nettelkamp.

Probably the oldest part of the church is the Romanesque-style choir on the eastern end. He is estimated to be about 1000 to 1100 years old. A clue to this is the door leading from the church to the sacristy.

Uelzen Lock

Highlight • Structure

When the Elbe-Side Canal was built between 1968 and 1976, a so-called saving lock was built near the village of Esterholz to overcome a height difference of 23 meters. This was supplemented by a second lock. After eight years of construction, the new Uelzen II lock was opened on December 8, 2006.

The federal government invested 122 million euros in the new lock. The centerpiece is the new lock chamber with a useful length of 190 meters and a width of 12.50 meters. It was built as a so-called saving lock with a total of eight saving basins, which are arranged one above the other on four levels on both sides of the lock chamber.

Uelzen Lock I and II

Highlight • Structure

The Uelzen I and II locks near Esterholz were built when the Elbe Lateral Canal was being built from 1968 to 1976. After all, a height difference of 23 meters has to be overcome here.

The locks Uelzen I and II belong to the so-called economy locks. In addition to the actual lock chamber, this lock shape has a few more arranged basins that can take up some of the water when the lock is emptied.
