The Braake was created by the break of the Elbe dike at the Christmas flood in 1717. Braake means Low German break or broken. Today, it serves as a receiving water for the collection and discharge of surface water and is dewatered by a pumping station into the Elbe. The Braake takes in Brunsbütteler urban area further drainage systems (Sprante, Helser - Kattrepeler Fleet) and reaches here a width of about 40 m. It is used by the local fishing club and has recently been developed for recreational use: paddleboat rental, operation of ship models, public park.
