On October 26, 1944, an attack on the canal systems on the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße came to a direct hit the channel embankment, which was then torn open on a length of about 50 meters. The mass of water plunged into the lower ground and flooded numerous buildings and the underpass of Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße. Five barges were torn from their anchorages in the canal and rinsed by the break point on open terrain. The canal ran completely empty between the barrier gates in Hahlen (west) and Berenbusch (east). In the flooded shelter of the box factory Busch numerous people trapped by debris died.
