The construction of the canal, which lasted from April 5, 1906 to July 17, 1914, took over eight years and cost around 60 million imperial marks. It was managed by the Royal Canal Construction Directorate in Essen, which was founded in 1906. The geomorphological conditions of the Emscher Valley were largely used for the construction. In parts, particularly in Herne and Gelsenkirchen, the canal was built in the former riverbed of the Emscher, whose course had shifted slightly to the north due to the previous straightening.
