The canal square at the Harburg inland port was originally a transshipment point for goods and goods. Today, the two listed houses on Kanalplatz are the last remnants of the old harbor. The square is surrounded by the development area Channel Hamburg, which is characterized by its office towers.

Of the original buildings, which were built around 1850 as part of the port expansion and later converted into office buildings, only one has been preserved, which today houses the Harburger KulturWerkstatt. Just like the old cobblestones, it now contributes to the historical flair of the Canal Square, which has been redesigned again into a market and event area that can be used in a variety of ways. For example, the Harburg Inland Harbor Festival takes place here every year.

Where one can rest today in a relaxed harbor atmosphere while enjoying the view of the water, was once a busy hustle and bustle. Just like its counterpart on the opposite side of the canal, the Lotseplatz, the Kanalplatz once served as a cargo handling area for coal and other goods. But not only goods were transported from the water to the street and vice versa, even for travelers the Kanalplatz was formerly a hub where you switched from the carriage to the boat. Already in the 19th century, therefore, several hotels revived this small square.

Of the original buildings, which were built around 1850 as part of the port development and later converted into office buildings, only two have survived, which today houses the Harburg KulturWerkstatt (number 6) and in the building (number 8) next to it was in the 1930s Norwegian Consulate. Just like the old cobblestone pavement, it now adds to the historic flair of the canal square, which, according to its past, has been redesigned into a multi-purpose market and event space. For example, the Harburg Inland Harbor Festival takes place here every year.
