The Braband Canal is a side canal of the Alster in Hamburg-Alsterdorf. It is 675 meters long and 15 meters wide throughout.

The canal branches off to the right directly behind the Sengelmannbrücke, i.e. to the northwest, from the Alster (location). After 60 meters, it passes under the meadow bridge and shortly afterwards turns south-west so that it runs parallel to the Alster. After 350 meters the second curve follows back towards the Alster, the canal passes under the Brabandbrücke and flows back into the Alster (situation) shortly before it is crossed by the Hindenburgbrücke. The artificial island between the Alster and the Braband Canal is 445 meters long and 140 meters wide and is accessed through the Brabandstraße. The street Am Brabandkanal runs on the northwest bank of the Braband Canal.

The former course of the Alster was straightened from Ohlsdorf to Winterhude from 1913 to about 1918. In addition to the ring channel as the rest of the Alster run, the three Braband Canal, Skagerrak Canal and Island Canal, which run parallel to the Alster, were also created to enable more construction on the water.

The canal is named after Carl Braband (1870-1914), a lawyer and liberal politician of the Hamburg citizenship. It is a first order body of water.

Along the Alster it is better to drive on this side than on the left bank of the Alster.

A nice corner for a little break in the sun.
