    The Vering Canal runs in a north-south direction and is connected to the Vering lock at the southern end. In a short time, he upgraded Wilhelmsburg, which was little developed at the time: more and more investors were drawn into business with the site near the port, so that what was then a rural community of Wilhelmsburg quickly developed into a working-class district. As the borderline between the steaming harbor scenery and the industrial buildings of the working district, the canal still tells this story - although today it is best known for its green park areas.

      If you are looking for a cozy and somewhat less well-known place in the countryside, you should consider the Vering Canal in Wilhelmsburg as your next excursion destination. The navigable, 1.6 km long Vering Canal caused Wilhelmsburg to develop into a new urban settlement on the Elbe in just two decades.

        The Vering Canal is an approximately 1.6 km (including the Outer Vering Canal 2.0 km) long navigable canal in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg.
        It was built in 1894 by the contractors Carl and Hermann Vering as a private canal to develop the Reiherstieg district and runs in a north-south direction.
        At the southern end it is connected to the Reiherstieg, a side arm of the Elbe, via the Veringschleuse and the Outer Vering Canal.
        Originally there was also a connection to the Ernst August Canal in the north.
        During the construction of the canal, older drainage ditches (weather) and natural waterways such as e.g. For example, the former mouth of the Stillhorner Elbe was included and at the same time the surrounding area was raised to make it flood-proof.
        Parallel to the canal, Veringstraße in the east and Industriestraße in the west were laid out as landside access routes for the industrial companies to be newly established.
