Veringkanal Walkway and Waterfront (Wilhelmsburg)

The Vering Canal
The namesake of the Vering Canal, Hermann Vering, you have to imagine today as a major investor. In 1890, the brothers Carl and Hermann Vering, engineers and construction investors from Hanover, performed for the first time in Wilhelmsburg. The company was involved in the construction of the Hamburg harbor basin as early as the 1880s. So she was commissioned with the development plan for Wilhelmsburg 1890.
Vering had 250 hectares of land in the northwest of Wilhelmsburg rise storm-proof and build bridges and roads on the former farmland. He sold the developed building land to industrial companies and construction investors. The Vering Canal was built in 1894.
High earnings expectations triggered a huge appreciation process. Not only the construction company Vering, but also other investors entered the business with the port-related area. The rural community of Wilhelmsburg turned into a new urban settlement on the Elbe in only two decades. Since then, the Vering Canal has formed the borderline between the smoking chimneys of the port industry and the lively bustle of the working-class district of Wilhelmsburg.
The Vering Canal still tells this story with its old industrial buildings and newly created small parks and riparian zones.

Great in the early morning, when it is still. Wonderful in the evening sun to have a picnic here

Along the Veringkanal leads a nice footpath, which can be used well by bike. How to get from north to south or vice versa with little street contact through Wilhelmsburg,
