    Osterbek Canal was created last century. In addition to flushing the sewage sewers, it served primarily as a transport route from the port to the business locations that had formed here during the second wave of industrialization

        The Osterbek is a stream in Hamburg. It rises in Farmsen-Berne near the street "Wegelstück" and flows into the Outer Alster as the "Langer Zug."

        Large sections of the upper reaches of the Osterbek have now been straightened. The section between Turnierstieg and Berberweg was renaturalized in 2003 as a compensatory measure for environmental impacts caused by construction projects elsewhere.
        At the subway tunnel ramp in front of the Wandsbek-Gartenstadt station, the Osterbek is diverted through a culvert.
        Near the Shipbuilding Research Institute, the Seebek flows into the Osterbek from Bramfelder See.


        From Wachtelstraße onwards, the Osterbek is developed as the Osterbek Canal. The canal was built gradually from 1863 to 1912 and attracted significant industrial developments at that time. Examples include the rubber factory, on whose site the Museum of Work is now located, and the Kampnagel factory. The power station on Flotowstraße, the neighboring gasworks (now "Alster-City"), and the waste incineration plant on Dulsberg Hill are no longer there.

        The earthworks resulting from the construction of the canal were used to build the embankments for the Stadtbahn (city railway), the elevated railway, and the freight bypass line.

        In the upper part of the canal, a branch leads to the Stadtparksee (city park lake) via the Barmbeker Stichkanal (Strasse), which in turn connects to the Außenalster (Outer Alster) via the Goldbekkanal (Goldbek Canal).
        This canal was built to supply coal to the subway's own power plant.


        Since 1912, the Alsterwerft (shipyard), where Alster ships are still serviced and repaired today, has been located on the Osterbekkanal. Until 1984, there was a scheduled service within the HVV (line 52: "blue flag") with piers at Mühlenkamp, Bachstraße, and Saarlandstraße.

        Before the Second World War, barges served as connecting services from the larger steamers between Mühlenkamp and the Stadtparksee. From the 1930s onwards, industrial companies began to relocate due to the lack of expansion of their factory premises and structural change; they were replaced by expanding residential development.
