Hiking
In 1926, work began on extending the canal from Hamm to Schmehausen. In 1930, the first pile-driving of sheet piles was carried out to build the Werries lock. After the lock was completed, ship traffic began on the second section of the DHK to Schmehausen on August 23, 1933. The planned extension to Lippstadt was never realized due to a lack of traffic demand.
