The historic chamber was completed over three years in 1905 and allowed ships up to 4.5 meters to pass through. In September 2021, its reconstruction was completed so that even ships up to 7 meters in height could pass through. This opened up the route along the Elbe and Vltava not only to the capital but also for larger ships.
