The lock was a massive construction project from the 1930s. The original construction costs for the North Lock were around 6.25 million Reichsmarks. For comparison: the modern new South Lock, including the adaptation of the approach channels, cost around 70 million euros.

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 Allersee is the heart of the Allerpark in Wolfsburg and one of the region's most popular recreational areas. It is an artificially created lake that originated in the late 1960s during a diversion of the Aller river.

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.
