The Osterbek has its source in the Hamburg district of Farmsen/Berne. It flows towards Langer Zug and flows into the Outer Alster. The actual canal was built between 1863 and 1912. The Osterbek Canal begins at Wachtelstrasse and flows to Langer Zug. The purpose of the canal was to promote the industrialization of Hamburg. The gasworks (Osterbekstrasse today's Alster-City), the rubber works (Tretorn), the E factory on Flotow Strasse, the Kampnägel factory and a waste incineration plant on the Dulsberg were located on the Osterbek Canal. The earth created during construction was used to build the railway embankments for the light railway, the elevated railway and the freight bypass railway. In the upper part of the canal, a branch leads via the Barmbek canal to the Stadtparksee, which is also connected to the Outer Alster via the Goldbek canal. This canal was built to supply the subway's own power plant with coal. Source Wikipedia
