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.

The Barnbruch is an extensive low moor area and part of the moist Aller lowlands. The Allerkanal was artificially created to drain the surrounding areas and regulate the flood protection of the Aller. The bridge connects the often impassable, moist meadows and bog forests with each other.

The weirs on the Allerkanal are not for shipping, but primarily for water regulation.
