The Sülfeld lock group is located in the Sülfeld district of Wolfsburg and is a central hub of the Mittellandkanal (MLK). It connects the higher-lying summit level (from the direction of Hanover) with the lower-lying eastern level (towards Magdeburg).

The Sülfeld lock group in the Wolfsburg district of Sülfeld is an impressive example of German engineering and a central hub on the Mittelland Canal (kilometer 237). It connects the higher-lying "summit level" with the "eastern level" in the direction of the Elbe. The original south chamber was dilapidated and too narrow for modern ships. It was demolished and replaced by a new construction, which was opened in 2008 after four years of construction.
