    The collieries and flourishing heavy industry in cities such as Herne, Gelsenkirchen and Essen lacked an economic transport route very soon after the beginning of industrialisation. Construction of the RHK began in 1909.
    At that time, the Emscher was artificially relocated and today runs over long stretches directly parallel to the canal, which overcomes a height difference of approx. 36m over a length of 45 km.
