To lock the north field, with a chamber length of 75 meters and a width of 9.50 meters, is as much a 43 meter wide fortification. However, only 65 meters in length and 9 meters in width are released for shipping. Longer or wider vessels must pre- register with the Water and Shipping Authority Tonning and obtain Genehmingung. At that time, built in the first line of dikes, sluice originally belonged to a flood, two flood and two ebb gates, since the construction of the Eider barrage a Sturmfluttor is disabled.

The lock can be crossed by pedestrians and cyclists since 2001 and connects the districts of North Friesland and Dithmar. At the same time it connects the lower internal Eider with the Tideeider. When it was built, there was no further downward flood fuses, today offers a Eidersperrwerk at the river mouth further protection. The lock should protect the cities upriver before the coming of the Eider North Sea storm surges, but also meant that downstream water accumulated even higher than before and also silted the Eider. Even after the construction of the Eider Barrage at the mouth of the hydrological regime has not yet stabilized in the Eider.
